Heritage Makers is a series of makerspace workshops that highlight a "maker" from history. The workshops are planned in conjunction with heritage or awareness months for which our library already has celebrations and programming, such as Women's History Month, Disability Awareness Month and Native American Heritage Month.
The Chicago Public Library (CPL) Maker Lab was looking for ways to coordinate with the library's heritage/awareness month committees to combine a maker workshop with already-ongoing heritage or awareness month programming at the library. This proved to be a bit challenging, because the typical expectation of a maker lab class is to go home with a tangible object.
We eventually came up with our Heritage Makers program, a series of workshops highlighting makers (artisans) throughout history. Each workshop, held in our Maker Lab, features the creative work of a historical figure from the ethnic or other group being celebrated, then features a hands-on activity in which participants make an object (or something inspired by it) central to that artisan's culture or creative style.
African American History Month: Benjamin Banneker's Clock — Participants designed a clock using the laser cutter.
Poetry Month: William Blake's Printmaking — Participants used a milling machine to wood cut a block for printing.
Louis Braille's Nameplate — Participants 3D-printed a nameplate with their name written in Braille.
Heritage Makers is promoted as an adult class with our other heritage or awareness month programs. We work with our heritage/awareness committees to make sure the Maker Lab classes are listed in their calendar of events. Our marketing team writes and sends out a press release on the heritage or awareness month that highlights the different programs. Maker Lab classes are also highlighted in our monthly newsletter that goes out to all library card-holders each month.
We have found that this program is gaining a new audience for our Maker Lab. People who are already interested in a particular historical artisan can be immersed in a creative process that highlights that artisan.
The Heritage Makers class budget depends on the activity. Our Maker Lab classes are free to the public, but the required materials and staff are funded by our foundation.
For example, the acrylic we used to make Banneker clocks costs between $5 and $15 for a 12-by-24-inch piece, and you can make four clocks out of that piece. The clock mechanisms were purchased from Amazon for about $7 per piece. That was a more expensive class.
However, if you already have a makerspace the materials budget is very minimal. We typically use materials we already have in our Maker Lab to keep costs low.
It's important to set up the context your participants. I make sure to choose an artisan about whom I'm able to find a short documentary, usually via YouTube. You cannot expect all participants (or staff) to be familiar with the person or group you're highlighting, so we take a few minutes at the beginning of the workshop to watch the video and understand the history behind the hands-on activity we're about to participate in.
We used to offer fliers with related books if participants were interested in learning more, but we phased those out. We found that the fliers weren't that helpful and were usually a waste of paper, since we could just refer interested patrons to related titles at the workshop. Finding materials was never a problem for these patrons, since the workshops are held at CPL's central branch. In the future, we will be able to link related material directly on our event page so patrons can be instantly connected to related titles.
Many classes have had people who were unable to participate due to limited technology but were still able watch the class and follow along. The class has reached a new audience and highlighted makers in history and continues to be a big hit.
We are continuing this program for the foreseeable future. In addition to benefits for program participants, this program also gained buy-in from staff who have previously felt uninterested in the maker movement. By providing historical context and seeking help from colleagues who are experts on the specific historical figure being highlighted, they understood what role makers have had throughout history.
We handed out participant surveys after the classes, and a significant portion reported that it was their first time in the Maker Lab space, which had felt too intimidating for them in the past.
This is a great way to integrate your library's makerspace into already-planned heritage or awareness month programming.
I would recommend seeking out lesser known historical figures. I have found luck with artists who practice a traditional art.
I would also add that the mini-documentary at the beginning of class is important for providing context.
The Chicago Public Library serves the city of Chicago with over a million active library card users at 80 branches.
Chicago Public Library found a way to celebrate artisans throughout history using the 21st-century technology in their makerspace.

Eliphas Levi, born Alphonse Louis Constant (February 8, 1810 – May 31, 1875), was a French occult author and ceremonial magician. "Eliphas Levi", the name under which he published his books, was his attempt to translate or transliterate his given names "Alphonse Louis" into Hebrew although he was not Jewish. His second wife was French sculptress Marie-Noémi Cadiot. Levi was the son of a shoemaker in Paris; he attended the seminary of Saint Sulpice and began to study to enter the Roman Catholic priesthood. However, while at the seminary he fell in love, and left without being ordained. He wrote a number of minor religious works: Des Moeurs et des Doctrines du Rationalisme en France ("Of the Moral Customs and Doctrines of Rationalism in France", 1839) was a tract within the cultural stream of the Counter-Enlightenment. La Mère de Dieu ("The Mother of God", 1844) followed and, after leaving the seminary, two radical tracts, L'Evangile du Peuple ("The Gospel of the People", 1840), and Le Testament de la Liberté ("The Testament of Liberty"), published in the year of revolutions, 1848, led to two brief prison sentences.
In 1853, Levi visited England, where he met the novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton, who was interested in Rosicrucianism as a literary theme and was the president of a minor Rosicrucian order.[2] Levi's first treatise on magic appeared in 1855 under the title "Dogme de la Haute Magie", followed a year later by the companion "Ritual de la Haute Magie". The two books were later combined into one book titled Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie, and was translated into English by Arthur Edward Waite as Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual in 1910. Its famous opening lines present the single essential theme of Occultism and gives some of the flavor of its atmosphere:
Behind the veil of all the hieratic and mystical allegories of ancient doctrines, behind the darkness and strange ordeals of all initiations, under the seal of all sacred writings, in the ruins of Nineveh or Thebes, on the crumbling stones of old temples and on the blackened visage of the Assyrian or Egyptian sphinx, in the monstrous or marvelous paintings which interpret to the faithful of India the inspired pages of the Vedas, in the cryptic emblems of our old books on alchemy, in the ceremonies practised at reception by all secret societies, there are found indications of a doctrine which is everywhere the same and everywhere carefully concealed.
Although famous, the Introduction was not written until 1861 after the initial success of the first edition. Levi began to write in succession Historie de la Magie in 1860. The following year, in 1861, he published a sequel to Dogme et Ritual, La Clef des Grands Mystères ("The Key to the Great Mysteries"). Further magical works by Lévi include Fables et Symboles ("Stories and Images"), 1862, Le Sorciere de Meudon ("The Witch of Meudon") 1865, and La Science des Esprits ("The Science of Spirits"), 1865. In 1868, he wrote Le Grand Arcane, ou l'Occultisme Dévoilé ("The Great Secret, or Occultism Unveiled"); this, however, was only published posthumously in 1898.
Lévi's version of magic became a great success, especially after his death. That Spiritualism was popular on both sides of the Atlantic from the 1850s contributed to this success. His magical teachings were free from obvious fanaticisms, even if they remained rather murky; he had nothing to sell, and did not pretend to be the inititate of some ancient or fictitious secret society. He incorporated the Tarot cards into his magical system, and as a result the Tarot has been an important part of the paraphernalia of Western magicians. He had a deep impact on the magic of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and later on the ex-Golden Dawn member Aleister Crowley. He was also the first to declare that a pentagram or five-pointed star with one point down and two points up represents evil, while a pentagram with one point up and two points down represents good. It was largely through the occultists inspired by him that Lévi is remembered as one of the key founders of the 20th century revival of magic.

It is Monday afternoon as I sit in the sun and write this. I am reflecting on the weekend just past and all that's taken place. It hasn't been a weekend much different to any other but as I look back I remember how at each of our services of worship I walked into a dry warm church, at our prayer meeting I walked down the aisle of the church and into the vestry without anybody challenging me, at both our services I climbed the steps to the pulpit with no fear for my life and with the freedom to preach God's Word and as I looked around the church each pew had a least one Bible sitting waiting to be picked up and studied. As I sit and write now I realise that my experience is very different to many of my brothers and sisters in Christ who face persecution for their faith. For too many they have no church building to call their own, some have to meet in secret, others that teach God's Word do so knowing it could cost them their freedom, even their lives and for some they do not have the Bible in their own language or only have parts of the Scriptures. Yet with all the opposition and persecution they continue to meet, the church continues to grow and they continue to rest upon and trust in the Word of God. They realise what it is to be the people of God and that to live distinctively and follow Jesus means following the path that he walked as he experienced opposition and persecution yet wonderfully they see that it is all worth it for the Kingdom of God. How much this challenges us as we seek to be the people of God within our communities. Sadly apathy has become the enemy of the church in the West as we have become too comfortable so we must again ask: What makes us distinctive? What sets us apart? What are we known for as a fellowship? Is it our zeal for the Lord and the growth of the kingdom? Or do our priorities as a fellowship lie in other places? We pray that together and by the Lord's leading that we would fan into flame a desire to reach the lost and the seeking in our community. Only as we focus outwardly will we achieve the commission Christ has called us too and together bring glory to God and His Kingdom. May the Lord equip, encourage and bless you in His service.


Most lawn grasses need 4-6 hours of direct sun to survive. Some shade-tolerant grass types grow as long as light hits that 4 hr quota and the light doesn't have to be full sun. Four to six hours of dappled or filtered sunlight can fuel the growth of a healthy lawn.
Roots can be damaged when temperatures are above 85°F. The combination of warm temperatures and lack of moisture can cause cool-season grasses to go dormant and turn brown during dry summers.
Regular black mats if left on top of the grass for long periods of time contribute to this damage. CLEARmats however, help prevent this damage as the sun's rays can penetrate the mat and prevents the burning of the grass underneath.

Red Skull #1 Recap
In a bar, in the domain of Battleworld known as Killville, Electro is bragging about his feats. The Thors tried to stop him from crossing borders, but this villain doesn't like to be told what to do. As if they could even lay a hand on him anyway. The only law Electro follows is that of the Red Skull. However, this talk is interrupted when a man walks in and shoots the bar patrons dead. He forcibly grabs Electro and drags him to a nearby helicopter.
[Related: Secret Wars 2015 Complete Reading Order Checklist]
The villain is surprised to find himself surrounded by a team gathered on the orders of Doom. Every one of these fools dared to defy the ruler of Battleworld, and now, they have just one chance at survival. The team members are Electro, Magneto, Moonstone, Jack O'Lantern, Lady Deathstrike, and the Winter Soldier. If they want to keep living, they will need to complete a mission for Doom. Their task is to find the Red Skull, an insurrectionist who was banished to the Deadlands. Though assumed dead, rumour is that the Red Skull is alive, and planning an attack in Doom's realm. So the team must find the remains of the Red Skull. Magneto dismisses this mission as impossible. The Deadlands kill everyone who enters – mind, body, and soul. Nobody has ever come back alive. But the man who gathered this team says nothing is impossible. He introduces himself as Crossbones, and claims to have survived the Deadlands.
Electro scoffs at all of this, and tries to escape, only for him to be shocked by a collar that had been placed around his neck. They are all equipped with this device, which will allow Doom's forces to control the villains and suppress their powers enough to prevent their escape. Electro asks why Bucky isn't wearing a collar, and Crossbones explains that the lunatic volunteered for this mission. The Winter Soldier says nothing other than the fact that he and the Red Skull have some unfinished business. As the copter arrives at the Shield, Crossbones states the team has 24 hours to find evidence of the Red Skull's death. If they don't make it back in time, they will be left for dead. But if they do, they get their freedom.
At the Shield, Crossbones casually kills a nearby T-Rex, who he refers to as the guard. The team heads out through a tunnel in the Shield. In the sewers, Moonstone states they should all abandon this mission and find a way back to Battleworld, but Bucky says that isn't really an option here in the Deadlands. Right now, their first priority is and can only be survival. With their powers suppressed, the team has no choice but to continue on. It does not take long for the Winter Soldier to find evidence of the Red Skull's presence in the Deadlands, and Electro is suddenly hopeful. Not only are they going to find the Red Skull, but he is confident the fabled insurrectionist will be able to lead them out of here alive.
But in an instant, a zombified version of Electro bites the very much alive one, and the team is surrounded by zombies. The Winter Soldier orders everyone to keep close, and not let them get overwhelmed, but it is too late for Electro who is devoured alive. Magneto curses the inhibitor collars, which are making his powers useless, while Moonstone and Lady Deathstrike fall to the zombies. Pretty soon the entire team is overwhelmed, and all but one die a gruesome death. Only Magneto is left standing. He curses this mission. It was pointless… nobody could survive here. Suddenly, the zombies are brutally killed, and a voice tells Erik to get up.
"There is power in the world believing you have died. In other words… come with me if you want to die."
Red Skull #1 Review
Hello and welcome to Comic Island! My name is Arden, and this is my recap, and review, of Red Skull #1!
Yeah so… I hope you guys liked this comic, because I freaking loved it. What a ride. I picked this one up because it was solicited as a journey with this team into the heart of the Deadlands to find the Red Skull, in something along the lines of Apocalypse Now. So I'm really pleased how Marvel was able to cover up this comic's surprise ending so well, and man, am I excited to see what happens next. This has to be one of the better Secret Wars tie-ins that I've had a chance to read so far, because it was so surprising and so well done I was really impressed by it on the whole.
The art felt gritty and conveyed the comic's dark tones nicely, and the story was really nicely executed as a slow, but well paced build to a big, exciting, and quite unexpected ending. It's not the first time a comic builds up a new team just to tear them down immediately, but I like how the comic builds up one idea only to pull a huge twist together and the story to wind up being of a different nature entirely. I do recommend you check out Red Skull #1 for yourself if you haven't already. This tie-in has a lot of promise, and I really like the idea of a Nazi like the Red Skull teaming up with Magneto in this fun little use of an alternate universe. Where things go from here should be quite interesting, and I honestly have no idea what to expect.
Let me know what you think will happen in the comments section below. And, as always, don't forget to like, subscribe, and keep reading comics.

Pink and red cards that display luscious hearts and quotes of love line the aisles of every store in America. Walk into any store this month, and you'll find yourself suffocated with promises of romance and seduction.
Along with the intoxicating ambiance that comes about this time of year, there also emerges a culture of singles who disregard the holiday and look forward to cuddling with their jar of Nutella and drowning their sorrows in a Netflix binge.
People in relationships, like myself, end up hiding in the shadows trying desperately to avoid the spiteful comments and harsh glances from those who don't have a significant other to share the day of love with.
Then I was told, in a cliche might I add, that I shouldn't embrace Valentine's Day because love should be given every day of the year instead of just one.
What people tend to not realize is that we live in a world that demands so much from people. So much that it is almost impossible to show your love for someone 365 days a year. When a couple has been together for years and their conversations slowly start turning monotonous, Valentine's Day is a nice reminder of why they chose to spend their lives together.
Yes, the stores are filled to the brim with loving cards and boxes of chocolates for your significant other, but the holiday isn't just for spouses. It's a day of appreciation for anyone that you love whether it be your mom, dad, sister, brother or best friend.
Those who sarcastically say they will spend Valentine's Day alone on their couch with their cat should use the day as another time to give love to their loved ones.
Family members and friends are just as important as significant others and are more commonly left out when it comes to appreciation. It is easy to pick up a card or something sweet for someone you care about, platonically or otherwise.
It's not about the monetary vale of the items given, it's about what work went behind getting that bouquet of flowers or making that heart-shaped card. It is about knowing that when someone was in the store shopping for you, you were the sole thing on his or her mind.
The more I think about it, the more beautiful it becomes. Sometimes, we get so wrapped up in our own lives and making time for the people that matter is quite difficult. Having one day on the calendar where we can set everything aside and really plan out a nice evening with someone we care about is needed.
Those who call Valentine's Day "Singles Awareness Day," or any variation of that term can just as easily direct the day to their loved ones, and celebrate love in their own way.

Q: sharepoint file upload I can upload a 250MB file to sharepoint 2007 but nothing larger.  I have changed the two webconfig file, set the admin site to 2047MB and it still fails.
Please help this was to be completed asap.
thanx

A: SPS ignore the file size setting for max file size, according to various testings.
Instead see KB 925083  for info on how to change size http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925083

A: *

*Please define "fail". Any specific error message, timeouts, etc?

*How do you upload your files? Webinterface, WebDav Put, RPC, etc?

*When you say "modified web.config", I assume you mean you setting maxAllowedContentLength property of the requestLimits node to something huge. Have you verified you set this correctly, by using small values and checking if it indeed blocks files?

*Regarding step 3, or did you mean the executionTimeout setting on the httpRuntime? Verified you set it right by setting it to too small a value an checkin that it cuts short your requests?

*By "setting the admin site", I assume you mean you set the Maximum upload size on the Virtual Server Settings page to something hue. Again, have you verified what the behaviour is when you choose too small a value there?

Note how step 3-5 are just the generic checklist shaped like questions... usually it helps going through the steps one more time.

A: Looks like you have a situation where there are several "gates" that the file has to go through and it is getting caught by the narrowest.
There is also the question is it getting stopped during the upload or when it is being written to sharepoint.
Based on the other answers / cooments sounds like you have checked most things. There are a couple more you could try:

*

*Is there anything in machine.config that is blocking your settings in web.config (typical overrideable = false)

*Are the settings cached, have you tried restarting the machine?

here are a couple of links that might help:

Can Calonis o Can Rajol o Casa nova d'en Frega és un edifici del municipi de Vidreres (Selva) inclosa en l'Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya.

Descripció
Es tracta d'un edifici de planta rectangular amb dues plantes i golfes a la part central. Té la coberta a dues aigües a laterals interrompuda per les golfes, que actuen com un pis superior i enlairat que dona al mas una estructura basilical.

Les obertures són rectangulars i, excepte la finestra de les golfes, que és de rajols i fusta, totes són emmarcades de pedra. La llinda de l'accés principal té un seguit de rajols col·locats verticalment a sobre (en forma triangular-piramidal) per què el pes de la paret no recaigui tant en la llinda monolítica. La planta baixa està dotada d'un arrebossat i la coberta interior consta d'una volta catalana de rajol.

A la part posterior de la casa hi ha una gran xemeneia.

A l'entorn immediat del mas hi ha un paller, cobert de teules i bigues de fusta i fet de pedra i rajol, i un pou. A la part posterior hi ha dos construccions afegides que funcionaven com a corts pel bestiar, coberts a un vessant i aprofitant les parets de la casa. També s'han tancat algunes finestres originals.

Història
La llinda de la porta principal porta la inscripció següent: "MIQVEL CANTALOSELLA 1821"

The Sumac Centre needs help !
The Sumac Centre is an independent community and activist resource centre in Nottingham. It is made up of a community cafe, social club, radical/social library, art exhibition space, Veggies catering campaign, filmnights, talks, meeting spaces and the residents. The centre is used by various local groups, collectives and individuals working towards social change and sustainability. It has hosted many national and international gatherings in the past and hopes to continue to do so. The centre is entirely run by volunteers
At the moment the centre is in need of help. Mainly due to reduced use of the centre/bar/cafe over the summer and mortgage rates increasing. At the moment there is a shortage of volunteers meaning the centre can't be open as much. We would like to continue to support and promote the work of many campaigns and individuals and continue the work we do in our local community...

Anti-War Demonstration Held in Santa Cruz on September 24
On September 24, about 100 people who are "sickened by the killing, torture, and spiraling human and financial costs of the illegal and immoral war in Iraq" held an anti-war demonstration in Santa Cruz. People rallied at the County Court House and marched to the Town Clock.
I got to the rally in time to hear some folk music, take some photos of the Raging Grannies, listen to a guy describe how voting machines don't work, listen to another guy descibe how 911 was an inside job, see Robert passing out flyers about a taser related death inside the Santa Cruz Jail, etc....
Meanwhile, some Santa Cruz activists chose to protest in San Francisco.
A march and related events are taking place in Washington D.C.

What are sheriff's deputies doing tasering an unarmed man in jail?
According to Sentinel reports, on September 18th, Santa Cruz Sheriff Robbins' Deputies tasered* David Anthony Cross inside the Santa Cruz County Jail, alleged to "control" him after he began banging his head on the cell door and "acting irrationally." The five second "stun" charge of 50,000 volts was applied directly to his shoulder "once or twice" rather than at a distance, according to Lt. Phil Wowak.
In April, Santa Cruz Mayor Mike Rotkin refused to direct the police department to open its records regarding taser use. On September 24th, a Public Records Act request was filed with the City, seeking to determine how widespread police use of tasers is.

Klamath River film night Sunday Sep 25: Free the Klamath, bring down the dams
Come see "Salmon on the Backs of Buffalo" and other films on the Klamath Salmon and dams including a new video featuring underwater footage of the Klamath Salmon, Sturgeon, Steelhead and Lamprey. Native Speakers will share their environmental justice stories along with how to get involved with the struggle to force Portland-based Pacific Power (a subsidiary of Scottish Power) to take down the Klamath dams that now block hundreds of miles of fish habitat, and how to insure there will never again be a massive fish kill like the one that killed over 60,000 adult salmon in 2002.
Many of us from the Klamath River and other areas in Southern Oregon are coming to Portland on the Oxygen Collective bio-diesel bus because Pacific Power's headquarters is located in Portland. And we hope to drum up support to stop Pacific Power from killing more fish. We want to bring the salmon home to the upper Klamath Basin. Rides are available from Happy Camp, Ashland, and Eugene on the Oxygen Collective bus. There will also be a discussion on future protests in Portland to support the people and the animals of the Klamath River Portland Contact Number: (503) 493-7495 Other contact number 541 951-0126

Hundreds of thousands around the US protest war on September 24th
September 24th: Hundreds of thousands of people protested the US war in Iraq and the lack of funding of people's needs such as disaster preparedness today. The protests took place on the same day as Hurricane Rita hit the state of Texas, bringing rains and strong winds to homes, oil rigs, and businesses. Indymedia radio stations came together for the monthly Critical Mass Radio Network broadcast. Radio stations conducted interviews about the protests, the war, and the two recent hurricane/evacuation disasters. They switched back and forth between carrying feeds from such locations as Michigan, Portland, New York, and San Francisco.
Some 50,000 people rallied and marched in San Francisco. An Anti-Capitalist Convergence gathered at 16th and Mission and then marched along the sidewalks to Dolores Park, where it joined the main march. There was a rally at Dolores Park, which turned into a 12pm march and arrived at Jefferson Square Park for a 2pm rally. At the park, the windows of a corporate media van were smashed, and "Fuck the Corporate Media" was written on the van. (Photos: 1 | 2 | 3)
Crowd sizes at protests around the country were larger than expected. 300,000 people surrounded the White House in Washington, DC. 50,000 people protested in Los Angeles. Twice as many people as were expected protested in Salinas, California. The anti-war movement has grown in the last two months as Cindy Sheehan has gotten national corporate media coverage of her attempt to talk with President Bush about why he went to war. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, polls have shown that for the first time since George Bush invaded Iraq in March of 2003, a majority of people in the United States now call for the immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from that country.

Stephen and Virginia Pearcy's Anti-War Art Attacked Again
September 22nd:
Stephen Pearcy Reports: "Another of our 'Bush Lied, I Died' soldier displays was ripped down and stolen yesterday from our Land Park (Sacramento) home. This is the 4th time in the last 8 months that this has happened, and the 2nd time in less than a month." Since February, their home has been attacked in several other ways: Their cars, their guests' cars, and their house have been egged on several occasions; Bush re-election stickers have been affixed to their living room window; their house was fired upon with multiple rounds of paint balls at 2am; US Marine stickers were affixed to several windows on their house; a shovel was stuck in the middle of their front lawn between two orange cones spaced about 7 feet across from one-another (the way a grave site is marked for digging in a cemetery); numerous "hate" letters have arrived in the mail; numerous threats have been left on their answering machine; they have received numerous annoying hang-up calls; garbage has been thrown on their lawn on many occasions (McDonalds bags, beer bottles, etc.); someone subscribed them to about 40 different magazines; police have mysteriously and inexplicably gone to their house while they were at work in Berkeley; and more.
Stephen Pearcy tried to get information about one of the vandals by using Craig's List, but his posts have repeatedly been "flagged" and removed. When he complained to Craig, the Craigslist CEO (Jim Buckmaster) emailed him back and accused him of berating them and said he should use someone else's site. Pearcy has asked supporters to email Craig to encourage him not to allow flaggers to thwart his attempts to identify the right-wing vandals. Craigslist people, however, have continued to allow the flagging. Stephen and Virginia Pearcy had planned to spend vacation time together away from their home by participating in activities such as the anti-war protest in San Francisco, but they have been discouraged by the lack of official support for their battle to get the criminal justice system to help them. He wrote, "We're getting a bit tired and disappointed." Read more

Man Dies in Police Custody in Bayview Police Station
Bay Area Police Watch reports that a 22 year-old man died early Wednesday morning on September 21st, in the custody of San Francisco police. Craig Holden of San Pablo was pronounced dead by paramedics shortly after midnight at the Bayview Police Station where he was being held.
While he had been in custody, Holden had complained of trouble breathing and was treated at the station by paramedics at around 10:45 p.m., Tuesday. The paramedic crew left at 11 p.m., but was called back to the scene at 11:23 p.m., when police officers reportedly noticed Holden slumped on a bench "in distress". After they tried to revive him for more than 40 minutes, he was pronounced dead at 12:09 a.m. A police spokesperson later said that officers had had to "physically subdue" Holden because he had been resisting arrest, but he was not specific about the type of force that had been used.
At present, autopsy results have not been released and information about the specific circumstances of Holden's death remains vague. Bay Area Police Watch and the Idriss Stelley Foundation both have questions about the circumstances of Holden's death and are calling for an investigation.

ANZ targeted by anti-war activists
The central Auckland ANZ Bank was closed down today when 200 activists marched to the same bank that they occupied last March. [ Report and photos ] 20 police officers and several security guards stood still as protesters yelled "ANZ, Profits From Murder", "We all live in a terrorist regime" (To the tune of Yellow Submarine), chanting to the theme of starwars and the famed "S C U M, what does it spell? SCUM!" chant. In Wellington, activists handed out fliers on Friday outside the ANZ on Lambotn Quay. [ Report ] Two ANZ branches were occupied in Brisbane on Friday. [ Report ] ANZ is part of an international consortium called the Iraqi Trade Bank, which was set up by the U.S. occupation. The U.S. has abolished all tariffs in Iraq, opening up what was once a protected economy. This has left 70% of Iraqi's unemployed. Trade Bank bureaucrats tour the world encouraging multinationals to take advantage of Iraq's vunerable economy. Local industries have not been able to compete and most have been forced to shut down.

Nog niet een bekomen van orkaan Katrina, die New Orleans zowat van de kaart veegde, wordt de golf van Mexico geconfronteerd met een nieuwe storm, Rita, die het vooral op Texas gemunt lijkt te hebben.
Na de schandalige manier waarop de hulpverlening na Katrina verliep, beweerden de autoriteiten dit keer beter voorbereid te zijn, maar het liep meteen al mis, de dijken in New Orelans zijn niet behoorlijk gerepareerd en de evacuatie van Houston loopt in het honderd. Er wordt niks gedaan voor de daklozen en wie niet wegkwam moet zichzelf maar zien te redden want mogelijks stomr bestendige publieke gebouwen worden niet opengesteld om te schuilen.

The doctor is not currently practicing as a result of having had his license pulled by the state medical board, which also fined him $26,000.
Dr. Leveque was one of the first doctors to help patients suffering from a range of illnesses to use marijuana to alleviate symptoms. Many doctors refused to counsel their patients on the therapeutic uses of the drug, preferring to use pharmaceuticals like Oxycontin and Hydrocodone to treat pain.

About Waterloo Uncovered
Waterloo Uncovered is a registered UK charity that combines archaeology with a veterans' support programme. Working in partnership with some of Europe's top universities, and through the unique perspective of a team comprised of archaeologists, veterans, and serving soldiers, Waterloo Uncovered uses the archaeological excavation of the Battle of Waterloo, to better understand war and its impact on people — and to educate the public about it.
Founders Mark Evans and Charlie Foinette have a shared history. They studied archaeology together at University College London before joining the army. Both chose the Coldstream Guards, the British regiment that played a vital role in the allied victory at Waterloo and continues to see active service across the world today. In their military careers they led men in combat, saw war up close and personal, and felt its impact first hand – on the battlefield and at home.
In 2010, returning from Afghanistan, Mark was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and his friend Charlie was on hand to help. It was Charlie's powers of persuasion — "If you haven't seen a Doctor by Monday I'll bloody drag you there myself" — that set Mark on the way to recovery. It wasn't quick and, almost four years, later when the MoD began a project to support veterans through archaeology, Charlie thought Mark would be an ideal candidate. They were both amazed by what they discovered — archaeology could help veterans recover and support their transition into civilian life.
This revelation got the friends thinking. Inspired by their shared past and the approaching bicentenary of the Battle of Waterloo, the notion struck them of combining the worlds they knew so well to create an entirely new kind of social enterprise – a bold new venture to involve serving personnel and veterans in unearthing the secrets of the world's most famous land battle — Waterloo Uncovered.

Q: How to generate code from a WSDL file in Android? I am developing an application in which i have to call a web service, i know the way to call the service through KSOAP2. Unfortunately I am provided with a WSDL file so i used the Sun Wireless Toolkit Stub Generator to generate the code. But the code contains the following packages which are not supported by Android.
import javax.xml.rpc.JAXRPCException;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.microedition.xml.rpc.Operation;
import javax.microedition.xml.rpc.Type;
import javax.microedition.xml.rpc.ComplexType;
import javax.microedition.xml.rpc.Element;

I do not know how to generate the code from the given WSDL for Android, if any body knows the solution please help me out.

A: You can use http://easywsdl.com website to generate all required java classes for your webservice. It uses ksoap2 library and supports many features like objects sent as references (WCF IsReference), complex inheritance, document and rpc style of webservice and much more

A: I go through a lot of solution solution in WSDL 2 android. google don't matter about SOAP service and provide anything for it. wsdl2java won't work in most of case, some library cannot be use by android SDK. I suggest you to use http://easywsdl.com.
you'll see you can edit your own package name, class prefix and many other parameters depends on your need. If you have complex data and your are familiar to use Gson (https://code.google.com/p/google-gson/) to send parameter between your activities don't check "Use JodaDate" that is a great library for using date, but Gson doesn't support it (yet).
If you have few services that don't work (yes that can happen, depend of your WSDL configuration file), report it to contact and they will make the possible to fix your issue like they did for me.
The generator is fast. you will receive all your generated code and the .jar that you'll have to import into your project.

A: for example this one
http://www.w3.org/2001/04/wsws-proceedings/uche/wsdl.html
namespace="http://schemas.snowboard-info.com/EndorsementSearch.xsd

is the url
GetEndorsingBoarder is a function
I think :)
this is a sample code ive used in my project
     String SOAP_ACTION = "";
 String METHOD_NAME = "theMethodName";
String NAMESPACE = "you can find the name space in the wsdl dile";
String URL="http://theServer/theService";

    SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
    Loger.logUrl(URL);

    request.addProperty("argumentname",s );

    SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
    envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);

    HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);

        androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);

        SoapPrimitive p = (SoapPrimitive)  envelope.getResponse();

        return  p.toString()

Creators Watch Interview - "Is Love Different on the Web?"
On February 27th, Web Series Watch hosts, Cindy Marie Jenkins and Patty Jean Robinson welcomed myself, Josh, Jo and fellow web creators Darren Chadwick (The Bloody Mary Show), Otessa Ghadar (Orange Juice in Bishop's Garden) and Caryn C. Hayes (Breaking Point) to talk about telling love stories on the web.
Livestreamed and recorded via Google Hangout, the conversation was part of the CREATORS WATCH spin off series of Web Series Watch, a review show dedicated to helping viewers navigate the wild west of the web series world. During the 46 minute show we talked about the freedom of the web, telling different kinds of love stories, bad 90's flannel, trained monkeys, and exploding queens. It was awesome. Check it out below.
I'm thrilled to announce that Jo Bozarth took home the Indie Intertube Award for "Best Actress In a Comedy" at this past Sunday's 2nd Annual Indie Intertube Awards.
As noted in the prvious entry, "The Further Adventures of Cupid and Eros" was nominated for 5 awards (including another nomination for Jo in the "Smexiest Actress" category) which was great in and of itself. But Jo's win is especially great because Eros, as she exists in C&E, simply would not be if it wasn't for her.
You see, when I initially conceived of the idea of C&E, Eros was male--as the god technically is. Eros was the Vince Vaughn to Cupid's John Favreau. That was still the plan when I initially pitched the concept to my producer Andy Wells.
As detailed in this post on the Cupid and Eros Blog, I'm pretty sure it was Andy who suggested that I re-write the role for Jo (Already one the core Highway 9 collaborators) instead. And as soon as that seed was planted, Eros became infinitely more interesting to me, as did the show itself. Eros went from being a supporting player to a full on co-star and the heart of the show became the friendship between her and Cupid instead of simply being about Cupid's love life or lack thereof. The role was written for Jo, and she made it better with every episode.
You can see the full list of nominees here, as well as the complete list of winners here.
On February 24th, Indie Intertube, a podcast and webcast devoted to covering Web Series, New Media, and the places they intersect with traditional entertianment, announced the nominees in their 2nd annual Indie Intertube Awards.
I'm honored that "Cupid and Eros" was nominated in five categories.
The Dramedy category is new this year and I'm thankful for it. I definately consider C&E a comedy overall, but "comedy" in web series often means much broader humor than the show aims for.
It's nice that the ladies of Indie Intertube chose to create a category for shows like ours and fellow nominees "Downsized" "Fumbling Through The Pieces" "Vampire Mob" "Leap Year" "Awakward Embraces" and "In The Rough" that straddle that line between humor and drama.
I'm also proud to say that C&E Editor, and my co-creator on "The Silver Lake Badminton and Adventurers Club," Matthew Smith is nominated for "Best Editing" for his work on "The Guild" And Taryn O'Neill, who appears in episodes 7-9 of C&E, is nominated alongside Jo Bozarth in the "Smexiest Actress" category for her work in "Once Upon".
*An additional bit of fun in all of this is that Indie Intertube asked us to be one of the presenters when nominees were anounced last month. Cupid and Eros took time from their work schedule to announce the nominees in 7 categories. You can watch the announcement video (which also features creators from other great Web Series) here.
The end of 2011 and the start of 2012 have been a bit of a worldwind, and as such, I've been very behind on posting some of the cool news related to "The Further Adventures of Cupid and Eros". Here then, is a recap of some of the highlights of the last several months.
"Cupid and Eros" was nominated for "Best Supplemental Content" at the first ever IAWTV Awards. It was a real honor to be part the Internation Academy of Web Television's inaugral kudos. One of the best parts was that we were nominated alonside our friends from "Vampire Zombie Werewolf", in part on the strength of the episode of "An Evening With Eros" in which their characters Tad and Bunny guest-starred. It was a great example of the type of cross-promotion that I'm a big proponent of paying off.
Bradford Anderson was nominated for "Best Guest Appearance in a Comedy" at the 3rd annual Indie Soap Awards for his portrayl of the wounded warrior Achilles in episodes 7-9 of "Cupid and Eros"
"Cupid and Eros" was picked as one of the best comedic web series of 2011 by web series review show "Those Video Guys"
And last but not least, we released THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF CUPID AND EROS: THE COMPLETE 1st SEASON DVD. The season 1 DVD includes all 9 episodes from season 1, plus tons of extra content, including all our IAWTV nominated supplemental content and exclusive commentary tracks. The DVD, along with other C&E merch, can be purchesed here.
So all in all, not a bad way to end last year and kick off this one.

Before we review this casino we'll first cover the basics. As you can read above, this gaming platform was established in Curacao in 2015, and is looking to expand in Europe in the coming months. Behind this slot-focused casino is a group of industry veterans that saw a need for a better working mobile-friendly slot platform. Thus, Omni Slots Casino was established. The fact that the casino was developed fully in-house gives it a unique look, quick loading time, and smooth navigation.
Opening an account at Omni Slots Casino is very easy. The casino obviously adheres to strict regulations enforced by licensing jurisdictions, so you'll have to fill in all the details to meet the KYC (Know Your Customer) standards. Don't worry, though. It will only take a couple of minutes. After that, you can deposit using 1 of the 19 payment methods. All account data and payments are fully secured, thanks to the help of iSignthis.
In every casino review these days you see a welcome offer, but rarely does a casino have a double welcome offer – or in this case, a quadruple welcome offer, actually. It starts with your 1st deposit. You can opt for a 100% bonus up to 300 USD/EUR plus 50 free spins. When you deposit a second time, you can choose to receive a 50% bonus up to 200 USD/EUR plus another 20 free spins.
It doesn't stop after that. Every week there is at least 1 bonus promotion and at least 1 free spins offer. There are also various tournaments and prize raffles throughout the year for even more cash prizes, gifts, and even fully catered holidays.
When it comes to playing games, you're at the right place! Omni Slots offers casino games of all types, although it focuses mostly on slots. The selection of over 600(!) slots covers everything from retro and modern fruit slots to jackpot slots and 3D video slots.
If you're more into table games, there are 61 different choices (counting the live casino games). In the "Other" section you'll see there's a number of other ways to place a bet, from horse racing to germs, and of course keno, video poker, and scratch cards.
By teaming up only with the tried and tested licensed providers, a Random Number Generated outcome is guaranteed on every spin or round.
Ensuring safety can also have a small downside. Because Omni Slots Casino wants to eliminate the risk of fraud in the casino as much as possible, there is always some processing time needed before a payout can be done. However, the casino is still well within the limits of acceptable withdrawal time.
After 24 hours a payment is released. After that, it depends on the bank or payment provider how long it takes before the money is in your account. Expect to receive your winnings within 3 working days.
Friendly casino support staff is available through Live Chat 16 hours a day, and around the clock via email. We do recommend that you check the FAQ first. It covers a lot of the issues the support staff has dealt with in the past. You can also find Omni Slots Casino on Facebook and Twitter.
But there is more to support than just lending a hand in times of trouble. Staff is also trained to recognize and prevent addictive gambling with regular sessions hosted in the company's office to keep staff up to date on how to detect and prevent compulsive gambling.
Our Omni Slots Casino review leaves little to the imagination when it comes to our verdict. As you can read above, we enjoy the wide range of games, the many promotions, and the very capable proactive support staff. Playing at this casino is a lot of fun, especially with the knowledge that your winnings will be in your account swiftly. Go to OmniSlots.com now!

This year we decided to make a short christmas 'sting' to post on social, which made use of both live action and 3D rendered elements.
Glued Christmas 2017 from Glued Films Ltd on Vimeo.
First off, we began work on the bauble shapes which will later form the logo. To do this, we used Cinema 4D and looked at a lot of reference images to make the shaders look realistic. On the glass part of the bauble, there are actually 3 different shaders blended together (for the glass, the frosty look and the scratchy ice skating lines). For the fabric wrap around the bauble, we used a similar shade of orange to the logo, but gave it a more metallic and shiny aesthetic – to emulate an embroidered look. This was rendered just using the Cinema 4D physical shader and we were quite pleased with the initial results.
Although our aim was for realism inside each of the baubles, we thought it would be a nice idea to juxtapose the realism with some 'snow globe' particles inside, as though they have just been shaken and there are falling snow particles . We opted to make the snow particles really large in comparison to the scene, in order to give them an 'ornate' aesthetic. To create this effect was very easy, it was literally just a particle emitter emitting some blobby displaced spheres – a rigid body tag was added to give them some dynamic properties and a collider tag was applied to the glass geometry.
We opted to create CG baubles so we could encapsulate little festive scenes into each one respectively. We wanted these scenes to feel realistic and have photorealistic lighting and textures, as though each one was a window into an alternate reality. We decided on a snowy tree scene for the main bauble, a snowy log cabin for the middle sized one and a snowman for the furthest away, smallest one.
Building a christmas tree was something that we thought would be quite time consuming, but we quickly found that using splines and cloners, Cinema 4D made very light work of this task. We drew 4 different splines representing branches, from the top view. These splines were then put into a cloner with the radial setting, so that they were instanced in a circular way around a point. A displacer effect was then added to the Y-axis of the splines, making them appear more random and organic. This cloner setup was then put into another cloner, but now a linear one moving upwards in the Y-axis, with a descending scale value, to make the top branches smaller. A small bit of random rotation was also applied along the X-Axis of the branches. This setup resulted in the rudimentary structure of a christmas tree – which was all procedural and easy to tweak!
The tree needles were created within the Cinema 4D hair system, which offered a really flexible and fast solution for exactly what we needed. Once we tweaked the shader and got the hair looking how we wanted, we converted the whole system to geometry from the hair 'generate' attributes – this was so that the animation rendered flicker free.
The tree Geometry was created from simply using a sweep along the splines we created. The only tricky part here was keeping the polygon count as low as possible without losing any noticeable visual quality.
Finally, to speed up the whole scene, we deleted all of the geometry that was not going to be seen by the camera. The fur geometry was obviously pretty taxing on resources, so this sped up the scene a huge amount.
For the footage, we wanted to shoot something close to our office in the centre of Altrincham, Cheshire, and we obviously needed to shoot our footage at night time for our neon sign to be visible. In order to make the shot easy to camera solve and preserve as much detail as possible, we shot before the sun had actually set and graded the footage down afterwards. We added a few extra details such as tracked-on headlights to sell the effect and we believe this execution worked pretty well!
We created our neon sign taking inspiration form the Altrincham christmas decorations that were already up. The sign was also created in Cinema 4D and it's 3D position and camera was created just using the in-built motion tracker. Again, the results were great and super quick compared to other match-moving solutions. We lit the geometry using a 'pseudo-hdri' made from chopping up the footage in photoshop – This also gave the shiny materials something to reflect. An illuminated texture was also applied on the text element, to resemble a neon light. The lighting was obviously not that important as most of the geometry will be hardly visible at night time, and the illuminated text provided the majority of the overall aesthetic.
The individual elements were then all composited together in after effects. A 'crash-zoom' effect was used to unite the live action footage with the rendered christmas tree scene, and a ton of motion blur was used here to hide any seams. We made the rendered tree scene a little more festive by adding some live action footage of a fireplace behind it, which believe ended up looking quite nice. We also added a fake little zoom and re-focus effect to the live action part, to frame our cg element a little better as we felt as though it was getting slightly lost, and might be hard to read when people watch it on their phones etc. The colours were then tweaked a little but at this point we felt as though it was good to go!
The video was then shared on socials, a few days prior to the Christmas break period. It was then shared by a popular page in Altrincham and had over 2,000 views in the first day. We were very pleased with the reception we had on the video and it is very encouraging for future posts for socials.

Following on a technique already proven in Sweden, the surgery could help women suffering from infertility.
The United States has completed its first uterus transplant surgery, following on a technique already proven in Sweden that could help women suffering from infertility, the Cleveland Clinic said Thursday.
The nine-hour surgery took place on February 24, and the 26-year-old patient - whose identity was not revealed - was in stable condition, the hospital said in a statement.
The transplanted uterus came from a deceased donor.
More details about the surgery are expected during a press conference with the medical team to be scheduled next week in Cleveland, Ohio.
Late last year, Cleveland Clinic began enlisting candidates for uterine transplants as part of a clinical trial that aimed to offer the procedure to 10 women.
Women potentially eligible to receive a uterine transplant include those who suffer from an irreversible condition known as Uterine Factor Infertility (UFI), which affects between three and five percent of women worldwide, the hospital said.
Sweden's University of Gothenburg achieved its first birth via a transplanted uterus in September 2014.
A team of Cleveland Clinic transplant surgeons and gynecological surgeons performed the nation's first uterus transplant during a nine-hour surgery on Wednesday, Feb. 24.


The East Tennessee Walking Horse Association Ladies Auxiliary Show have changed the dates of their ETWHA Ladies Auxiliary Show from July 26-27 due to conflicting show dates. The show will now be held at the Sevierville Fair Grounds in Sevierville, Tennessee, on September 14-15. This was done hoping that more people could attend this show. The class schedule will be out soon and the Auxiliary hopes that many will make plans to attend their show. Beth Osborne can be contacted for further information at 276-619-1610.

It's been hot, it's been cold and our plants have been up and down and in and out... It's not been easy keeping to a schedule on the farm. I still can't get my head around how slowly things get going and start to grow at Pippettes Farm in Suffolk compared with our farm in Auckland NZ and I am afraid to say I think it's getting the better of me.
I need help. It's my precious Kawa Kawa.
The cold then hot and humidity of the poly tunnel plus the lack of airflow started to take their toll and first aid is now back on track with Lyzz at the helm.
Kawa Kawa is a native NZ shrub that likes shade from the NZ bush canopy, warmth, and good air flow but doesn't like direct sun, cold, wet roots and wind; so obviously not the best for the UK. But I love its therapeutic properties. Used internally it can help inflammatory conditions of the digestive tract, as well as joint inflammation or arthritis. Used topically, it can reduce the inflammation of common skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and skin rashes.
Lyzz has suggested digging them up. She checked the roots and established it was most likely a fungal infection on the upper parts. I put them in pots in a light soil and removed some of the irksome brown leaves. We have discussed taking off the upper parts to see if the shoots will grow through more vigorously, but for the next few days we are giving them a rest.
They are nicely moist, in the warmish shade, off the ground, away from ants and now with excellent air flow around them.
We have said a prayer under our breaths and crossed everything.....here's hoping they survive. We have a variety of natural anti fungal sprays to hand and biodynamic preps.
So, before we do anything else - have you grown Kawa Kawa in the UK or do you know any useful tips on how to grow Kawa Kawa in UK climate? Please let me know. I'm new to using a polytunnel too.

Bruce T. Martin Heads to Cambodia to Photograph the Khmer Empire's Angkorian Ruins
BY Varun Raghupathi 17 July 2020
If his start in this field was any indication, Natick, Massachusetts-based Bruce T. Martin's photographic work was always going to feature the intersection of history and architecture. A curious, worldly photographer, the Massachusetts resident began his career by searching for historic buildings local to his area. It was only a matter of time before he'd start traveling the world to find more historic places.
My professional photography began as a Historic Preservation Photographer in Chautauqua County in Western NY. My efforts there revolved around finding that community's historic buildings and then documenting their condition for National Register of Historic Places consideration.
Soon after he left that position, Bruce moved to Massachusetts to start working as an architectural photographer. Eventually, he found himself researching the Maya. Years after first learning about the them in-depth, Bruce also "became aware of the Khmer of Cambodia." Seeing obvious parallels between the two peoples, Bruce wanted to learn more about the latter.
In 1987, I began working on a project on the Maya of Central America, combining historical documents, academic research, and current events in conjunction with my photography and recordings from the field. In the nineties, while working on my still ongoing Maya project, I became aware of the Khmer of Cambodia. Like the Maya, they were successful under the difficult conditions of a rainforest environment. At that time, I added them to my list of places I would like to learn more about.
Though Bruce did a little research on the Khmer before embarking on a trip to Cambodia for a personal project called "Walking in the Shadow of Time," he was too busy with his career to dive into the material headfirst. Instead of hindering his ability to capture the ancient ruins, this allowed Bruce to create imagery based on a "personal response" to the edifices.
Before leaving, I decided not to look at very many Cambodian visuals with the hope that I could better form my own personal response to these extraordinary structures, locations, and iconography.
Across two weeks, Bruce put together a stunning collection of shots featuring some truly awe-inspiring structures. After adhering to a few clothing and equipment restrictions — he couldn't use a tripod at a number of sites — Bruce got to work and came away with a tidy one-word description to sum up his experiences.
Overwhelming.
Seeing these structures, the landscape they sit in, and the iconography they contain made a direct connection to my creative core. How light reveals the intersection of what was and what is inspires and challenges me.
These sites are of inestimable value for architects and architectural photographers because of their beauty and durability. The Khmer Empire was ahead of its time with regards to engineering and other disciplines, and the fact that their work still remains after centuries is a testament to their brilliance.
I was drawn to the Khmer Classic Civilization, their region, and the physical remains for a number of reasons. Their lost world, much like the Maya, is from a forgotten time, yet still radiates a powerful spirit. The beautiful sense of mystery that energizes these sites challenges our present-day worldview. These sacred locations give us a better understanding of how architecture defines space, one culture's vision of reality, and humankind's place in this world. It is my goal to incorporate these notions into my photographs.
Being built from stone gives them great durability. The Khmer builders used a combination of brick, stucco, laterite, and sandstone to create these massive complexes, which combined a central sanctuary, towers, altars, passageways, entryway buildings, and pools surrounded by moats and reservoirs. The sandstone walls were carved with intricate sculptures of dancers and gods along with free-flowing detailed bas-reliefs showing vegetation, daily life, history and mythology.
The more Bruce photographed, the more he learned about the people who created what he was experiencing. And the more he learned about the Khmer, the more he appreciated their holistic philosophies.
The Khmer were architects, engineers, craftsmen, and artists who created spectacular structures that were in harmony with their vision of life and landscape. Through their architecture, the Khmer Empire presented their beliefs, history and cosmology leaving us with a singular interpretation of the world we live in.
What remains are the beautiful ruins depicted here that have been weathered by time and nature yet still reveal a sophisticated and complicated civilization consumed with finding their place in the universe.
Now, traveling to Cambodia and learning about its past means you're going to read about the brutal former prime minister Pol Pot. So, while the whole trip wasn't a happy experience, per se, it still gave Bruce the chance to do what he loves while working with his son, who assisted. Oh, and it allowed him to plan for more trips to Southeast Asia. Let's just hope he comes back with more images like the ones he produced during his time in Cambodia!
Cambodia is a very interesting country with incredible people, ruins, and history. It was also rewarding to travel and spend time with my son, who helped me on this trip. We've enjoyed our visit but we're deeply troubled by the brutal genocide of the Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge regime of the 70's and the extreme poverty of today. We also spent a couple of days in Thailand. I photographed a number of Buddhist Temples and Shrines in both countries, which I plan to organize into an essay at some future point.

Q: Export numpy array with rasterio I have made some processing on some satellite images as numpy arrays. I want to export the data as tif images again to see the result I read ùy image with rasterio
sentinel2 = rasterio.open('sentinel2.tif')

and my processed array is date1seg
According to this >>> new_dataset.write(Z, 1) I used that to export the image but this error appears
sentinel2.write(date1seg, 1)
AttributeError: 'DatasetReader' object has no attribute 'write'

A: You should opening your tif file in write mode, by passing the write arg and use the context manager so the file closes once youre finished with it. You can pass in any meta info you need also and then write to the tif, passing in your data and the band you want to write to.
with rasterio.open('sentinel2.tif', 'w', **meta) as dst:
    dst.write(date1seg, 1)

Documentation can be found here - https://rasterio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html#opening-a-dataset-in-writing-mode

A: I've already developed a python function that get /path/to/export/directory, (n x m) numpy array and meta to generate desired .tif file.
import os
import rasterio

def export_to_tiff(directory, matrix, metadata):
    """
    This function get Numpy ndarray and related metadata to create
    a .tif file as the results of process.
    \nInputs=> A directory for exported .tif file, Numpy and meta
    \nOutputs=> A path to result .tif file
    """
    file_name = os.path.split(directory)[1]
    kwargs = metadata
    kwargs.update(dtype=rasterio.float32, count = 1)
    try:
        with rasterio.open(directory, 'w', **kwargs) as dst:
            dst.write_band(1, matrix.astype(rasterio.float32))
            print('\n File was created successfully.\n%s' % file_name)
    except:
        raise Exception("Error in exporting dataset to .tif!")

A: I know that the question is related to rasterio, however, I found out that writing .tif files with tifffile is way easier. You only need to do:
tifffile.imsave(path, numpy_array_image)

where numpy_array_image is the numpy matrix image and path is the full path where you want to save the file.
