Buckeye Gap/Mountains-to-Sea Trail Junction -- 5,500'
The upper (or, southern) terminus for the Buckeye Gap Trail is here, at an unsigned junction with the Mountains-to-Sea Trail. Via the MST this spot is about 2.5-miles east of Haywood Gap on the Blue Ridge Parkway...
Buckeye Gap Trail -- 5,490'
It is immediately apparent that the Buckeye Gap Trail is much less used than most trails in the area...
The trail isn't really in a hurry to drop down the ridge after departing the MST...
A deep cut in the hillside is evidence of this trail also having a former life as a logging route of some sort...
Passing through a small, curious opening in the forest...
These refreshing high-elevation woodlands are a wonderful place to walk on a hot summer day...
A brief break in the trees allows for a quick look at a few peaks to the west. I'm 90% sure that the high summit on the right is that of Rough Butt Bald (5,928')...
Passing a very impressive red spruce...
Like you see here, once in a while there were tiny tributaries to hop over. These all feed into Buckeye Creek far below...
About 3/4-mile below the MST the Buckeye Gap Trail passes alongside this open, brush-covered, slope...
This long opening represents the most overgrown section of the BGT over its entire length...
The green tunnel...
Refuse along the trail of an era (thankfully) long gone...
Hopping across yet another tiny tributary of Buckeye Creek...
As you can see, this is an extremely pretty stretch of trail...
Fallen laurel petals carpeting the wilderness pink...
A short rhodo tunnel...
1.5-miles from the MST, the Buckeye Gap Trail has still barely lost 200 feet of elevation...all this means is that there is a BIG drop coming soon...
A last little bit of flat trail...
You can barely see it but this shot looks back at the point where the trail makes a sharp left turn to, finally, begin its drop off the side of the ridge...
Down I go...over the next mile and a quarter the trail will be losing over 1,200-feet of elevation...
Looking back uphill...trust me, the grade is much steeper than it looks...
At this point the trail has left the spruce-fir forest behind and has entered a more traditional mid-elevation mixed hardwood one...
Down, down, down...
Winding my way steadily downward...
Where breaks in the canopy allow for extra sunlight the trail does, at times, become fairly overgrown...
Dropping below the 5,000-foot mark the grade levels off again for a short while...
A nice break from the descent...
Passing a beautiful area of thick grasses carpeting the forest floor...
Not sure what this piece of iron scrap belonged to but, it tells of a time when this area was much more busy than it is today...
More grassy shag carpeting...
After the brief lull the trail now veers north to begin its final steep drop down to the Middle Prong...
This lower part of the drop off the ridge is much steeper than the upper portion...
A look back uphill gives a better perspective of the grade the trail is descending...
As you can see, the trail had now traded its grassy forest floor surroundings for a fern-y one...
Green, green, everywhere...
The Buckeye Gap Trail as it drops to cross Grassy Ridge Branch...
Buckeye Gap Trail @ Grassy Ridge Branch -- 4,550'
This pleasant little cascade lay just above the spot where the trail crosses Grassy Ridge Branch...
Looking uphill at the crossing of Grassy Ridge Branch. The trail will now be following along the north side of this tiny streams drainage for the remainder of the descent...
Following the steep slopes downward along the north side of Grassy Ridge Branch...
A few of the steeper pitches are rough...make sure to watch your step as this is NOT a place you want to turn an ankle...
Angling ever downward...
Middle Prong becomes audible around this point...though it's still far far below and out-of-sight...
The steep, angled, downhill grade is unrelenting...
Solitude in abundance, even in the summer...
The sounds of the river below will now be quite loud, signaling that the end of the steep descent is drawing near...

I downloaed 1.1.1 and cannot seem to find the show-preview-image option. I looked thru the admin pages and couldn't find a setting. On the 'Viewing item' page the only options I see under 'Share Item' are 'Share Page', 'BB Code', and 'BB Code with desc'. Am I missing something ? It looks like I installed it properly as Package Manager shows 1.1.1 as installed. I previously installed 1.0.4; is there a chance that I am still running the older version ?
You're not missing anything. Look 4 posts up from this one. You just have to type it in.
Some of us are still trying to convince Arantor that a bbcode link to the full size image is a good thing, despite his reservations of the page being whacked out if someone uploads a massive picture.
Here's the deal: 1.2 (not released yet) does have a copy/pastable bbcode for the preview image.
There are two problems with embedding the full item in a post.
2. Things that aren't images. LevGal supports video and audio natively, embedding these into posts requires a bunch of stuff to make it work, just as embedding the lightbox does. I'm not keen on fighting with the eldritch gods about this one but I think I'm going to have to give it another try.
I have been delayed on working on 1.2 due to RL stuff but I really should push this out even if I don't have all the shiny things I wanted in it, simply because there's bug fixes that are worth having in it.
What about a selectable preview size? Is that an option? Could I make it say, 800 x 800 vs. 500 x 500?
I really do not want to get into selectable preview size because there are plenty of times it simply isn't going to be of any use to configure, not nearly as much as people actually think (having spent years observing how people use the likes of Aeva where this is an option). Invariably what happens is that admins configure it for what looks right 'to them', and if they have a non-fixed width setup, there's a reasonable chance it'll be broken for their users. Even 500px is too big in some cases (think phones). For the amount of effort required, it's actually really not worth it to implement that.
Informing my members to manually type it in will lead to confusion; I'd much rather it be displayed along with the others. Maybe it could be configurable so that the admin can decide which options to display ?
Thumbnails. Size set in config.
Full size. This isn't actually the full size image straight from camera, it's a full size as set by admin in the config. Set at a size which in my mind would suite most monitors.
The thing I can't understand is why anyone would want to upload full size images tbh. I hate having to scroll around trying to view images in four parts lol.. Not to mention the image is downloaded to your computer each time you view one, this takes up a huge amount of space, and some who still have slow connections the images take ages to load.
Unless submitting to a image library (Those files are huge) , members of your site should learn to optimise their images for web use.
That's kinda what I was hoping for but if it's not doable as Arantor explained above, that's fine. The benefits outweigh the wishful thinking.
Or, this one which is clickable takes you to the Intermediate image in the gallery itself.
Especially as 1.2 contains the preview bbcode as a handy copy/paste item. As has been mentioned at least once already, I'm sure.
Maybe it could be configurable so that the admin can decide which options to display ?
I'm really reluctant to spend time on this more than necessary... especially as I just started a new job which is taking a lot of my time up right now. I have a *massive* list of things I'd rather be adding than this, to be quite honest, especially as I can see (as explained) how come this is going to cause trouble long before it's actually useful.
You misquoted me. I quoted the three things you mentioned in CPG and said what I did. I wouldn't want a an image I'd have to scroll around to look at either.
At any rate, this is all moot. As far as I'm concerned, this could be put to rest.

Who is the most famous person from your Sussex town?
Is there anyone you see on TV today that reminds you of when you used to sit beside each other in maths? No?
With Fatboy Slim, Piers Morgan and The Cure all hailing from Sussex, we're pretty sure everyone here has a story to tell about a celebrity they've crossed paths with.
It's only natural to be curious about the most famous person to hail from the place you call home.
And luckily for us, that now might just be possible.
One website has found a unique way to try and find who is the most famous person from your area by tapping into our search habits.
The Pudding has compiled a list of the most 'Wikipedia'd' person with a connection to every town in Sussex.
Wikipedia may not be too popular with school teachers as 'anyone can make changes to the page', but one thing for sure is that it's almost always the first thing to come up when you search any celebrity's name.
There are a few criteria to meet; the famous person must have born in, lived in, or connected to that place.
Scroll down to see who is the most famous from these Sussex areas.

Researcher(s): Johansson, B., & Tornmalm, M.
Overview: Individuals with acquired brain injury struggle with working memory deficits that are commonly experienced as difficulties with multi-tasking, forgetfulness and distractibility. The aim of this Cogmed training study was to examine whether working memory training, coaching, peer support and education would impact the perceived daily functioning of patients with acquired brain injury.
A sample of 18 adults, mean age 47.5 years, with acquired brain injury (TBI, tumor, and stroke) trained with Cogmed QM in groups of 4 to 6 people for 30 -45 minutes a day, 3 times a week for 7 to 8 weeks. In addition to training, participants also exchanged experiences of working memory deficits for 30 minutes on each training day as well as, learned about the function of working memory in everyday life for 30 minutes on each training day. Researchers collected self-report ratings of cognitive failures (CFQ; Cognitive Failures Questionnaire) and self-report ratings of occupational performance (COPM; Canadian Occupational Performance Measure) pre-, post- and 6 months after training. Participants also kept records of their progress and problems with working memory training in a diary and reported subjective changes in daily functioning in an interview at 6 month follow-up.
Results: Following training, all participants improved on the trained working memory tasks. Participants with the lowest baseline training performance showed the greatest improvement during training. Patients self-reported reduced cognitive failures on the CFQ at post-training that were maintained at 6 month follow-up as well as, significant improvements in occupational performance and satisfaction with job performance. Qualitative content analysis of interview data revealed that patients generally had an increased understanding of how working memory deficits impaired their daily life and had increased confidence in their ability to remember where they were and how to return.
Summary and Implications: Although this study included a small sample size and lacked a control group, acquired brain injury patients successfully completed training with Cogmed QM and reported improved occupational performance and decreased cognitive failures. Patient's also described feeling positively about group training and being afforded the opportunity to commune with others struggling with acquired brain injury. Participant revealed that adaptive training more than 3 times per week would not have been feasible, implying that different training schedules for Cogmed should be evaluated in the future. Despite the intense and difficult nature of Cogmed QM, all participants in this study reported that they would recommend the program to others in the same situation.

Innovation for Justice
Unlock Change
Events & Announcements Curriculum Projects In the News Who We Are Thanks
The civil legal system promises justice for all, but in reality, that promise is not being delivered. Barriers to entry, power imbalances, and flawed processes inhibit the civil legal system from working as it should. Marginalized populations are most likely to be excluded from effective use of the civil legal system. In the midst of this system failure, how can innovation and technology unlock the promise of equal justice?
The Innovation for Justice program exposes students to the justice gap, engages students in thinking critically about the power of technology and innovation to close that gap, and empowers students to be disruptive problem-solvers in the changing world of legal services. Students will work across disciplines and with government, private and community partners, implementing design thinking and systems thinking to create new models of legal empowerment.

The Innovation for Justice Curriculum
The i4J program includes three courses, as well as a variety of extracurricular opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students across campus.
Graduate Course: Innovation for Justice
Fall -- Innovation for Justice: Law 672. This project-based course exposes the ways in which America's civil legal system fails to provide justice for all, explores innovations targeted at addressing that systemic failure, and empowers students to design and launch solutions to the justice gap. Topics include: the constitutional underpinnings of our right to access our legal system; poverty in our community; the civil legal needs of low- and moderate-income Americans; how the design of our legal system inhibits equal access; the access to justice movement; how technological innovations are changing the legal system; and methodologies for innovating and improving the civil legal system. In 2019-2020, the Innovation for Justice program will partner with Harvard Law's Systemic Justice Project and Duke University School of Law in a multiple jurisdiction, interdisciplinary collaboration examining the complex needs of human trafficking survivors and exploring innovative ways to spark social change.
Undergraduate / Graduate Combined Course: Innovating Legal Services
Spring -- Innovating Legal Services, Law 672A. The majority of Americans can't afford to hire counsel when confronted with a civil legal need. As a result, they attempt to navigate the civil legal system without representation, or simply do not engage with the system at all. What are the societal implications of that system failure, and what can we do to change the status quo? Each semester, the course will focus on a particular avenue of legal service and explore what's working and what's not, with the goal of generating creative solutions. Guest participants from the community will be invited to work with students in problem identification and solution building. In Spring 2019, this course will be co-taught by incoming State Bar President Jeffrey Willis.
Undergraduate Course: Visualizing Justice
Spring -- Visualizing Justice, LAW/ART 360. This is a 3-credit, interdisciplinary course that combines legal, art and design concepts to explore: (1) what are legal rights; (2) how do we communicate legal rights; (3) how do we navigate legal processes; (4) how can art and design inform how legal rights and legal information are conveyed, in order to empower people and make legal systems more accessible and navigable? This course is co-taught by associate art professor Kelly Leslie.
Leadership in Legal Innovation
The Leadership in Legal Innovation course provides an opportunity for students who have completed an entry-level course within the Innovation for Justice Program to advance their understanding of and skills in legal innovation. Students in this course will play a leadership role within the program in one of two ways: (1) active participation as a leader and mentor in an ongoing entry-level Innovation for Justice course, mentoring students who are new to the program and assisting in facilitating of class activities and community engagement; or (2) active participation as a project leader for an ongoing Innovation for Justice project, participating in research and collaborating with the program director, peers and community stakeholders to advance the work of the Innovation for Justice Program.

An early member of Self-Represented Litigation Network, she has led the SRLN since August 2013. Katherine is particularly interested in building delivery systems for rural and vulnerable populations and creating community based legal assistance environments that prioritize judicial engagement and leadership to re-imagine services and approaches used by the private bar, legal aid, court staff and non-legal community providers so that everyone can get the legal help they need, when they need it in a format they can use. Katherine sits on the Advisory Committee for Voices for Civil Justice, serves as the Senior Advisor to the Justice for All Project, and is a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Georgetown Institute for Technology Law and Policy.

DioWarriors will be at the GI Joe Convention this year. Orders placed from June 9 and beyond will be delayed until after we return from the convention.
Orders will continue to be processed so that when we do return we can start shipping as quickly as we can.
If you are at the GI Joe Convention, come check us out. We'll have a table there with some things on display.


A relationship needs intimacy. Regardless of whether it's a physical intimacy or an emotional intimacy, your relationship will slowly wither and die without it. Intimacy helps both partners to know that they are loved, that love is "worth it." The need to be as close as possible emotionally, to the one person we've promised to spend the rest of our lives with is important to fulfill.
Intimacy is, at its core, a practice of being present: showing up and paying attention. Whether it is to your best friend, the birds in the sky, your partner, or to the heaviness in your own heart. But intimacy requires openness and vulnerability, so instead we deploy various tactics for distraction and disassociation, exacerbated by our beeping phones and the TV in the background.
In order to keep your intimacy alive, it is essential to have rituals to reconnect you amidst the chaos of modern living. There is strong evidence that daily meditation can be one such marriage enhancing ritual.
Pruitt & Mccollum (2010) determined that the practice of meditation increases feelings of compassion for oneself and others, in their case study of long-term meditators.
Meditation helps to dissolve the boundaries between the self and others by bringing to light the universality of suffering.
Another feat of meditation is that it allows us to see things as they are rather than how we would like them to be. When we meditate, we practice becoming aware of sensations in the body and, importantly, accepting whatever our experience may be regardless of whether it is positive, negative, or neutral. This can lead to increased intimacy over time as you get to know your partner and are able to offer them validation and acceptance of who they are.
Meditation teaches you how to be vulnerable. As much-talked-about scholar and researcher Brene Brown points out, vulnerability – or the ability to be open, exposed, and without defenses – is one of the most healing and connecting experiences we can have. Often, fear gets in the way of our ability to express our true feelings. The first step is recognizing these feelings. Through meditation, we learn to get in touch with our deepest realities, which can often be veiled by more dominant emotions and behaviors. Secondly, meditation increases the acceptance we have of ourselves, thereby lessening feelings of shame and fear and allowing us to express ourselves openly to our partners.
Through this act of vulnerability, we give our partners the opportunity to come in to our private space and facilitate healing through support, acceptance, and love.
If we never dare to let our partner see us for who we are, then we can never gain intimacy and meaningful connection.
Remove any distractions, such as cell phones and kids, Set aside at least 10 minutes of time when you won't be interrupted. Sit across from one another and gaze into one another's eyes. You might wonder which eye to focus on. Don't worry about that—just choose one and stay with it.
If you would like a guided version of this meditation, you can find it here.
I hope you are able to set aside some time this week to give this meditation a try. I think you will be pleased with the new level of intimacy that it can create for you as a couple. I hope it deepens your connection and helps you understand each other a little more.

2017 September | Signs Up!
Mad Science Has a Program For You!
Entertainment for Blue & Gold Dinners, Science Nights & Badge Workshops, and much more.
In collaboration with County College of Morris, Patriots' Path Council is inviting middle and high-school age Boy Scouts, Sea Scouts, Venturing and Exploring members from all our council area to participate in a day of STEM related activities on the County College of Morris Campus in Randolph on November 4, 2017.
Returning for his 8th summer organizing the SAC Trek Program, Ian Craig is very excited for the 2018 season! He has been involved with BSA summer trekking programs in the Adirondacks for 10+ years and the BSA National Camping School Trek Leader (Voyageur) program as a staff member for 11 years. An Eagle Scout originally from Western NY, he has been registered with the same troop for 26 years! He is proud to call the Adirondacks home and loves to find new waterways and trails to explore whenever he can. Finding a new corner of the Adirondacks to send SAC treks is a true passion for him. One of his most memorable moments in Scouting came just this past summer when his six year old son begged for the chance to stay overnight at Sabattis Adventure Camp and paddle on Bear Pond with the Voyageurs. Providing proof that SAC and the people who staff, attend, and support the camp are leaving outstanding impressions on visitors of any age!
On November 4, 2017, our council advancement committee will run our Merit Badge Intro Workshop & Den Chief Training at Brooklawn Middle School in Parsippany.
Among new badges covered this year will be Medicine, Exploration, Law, and Backpacking.
The purpose of the workshop is to introduce badges to the Scouts and to help them understand the merit badge process. For most of the merit badges, Scouts will be able to obtain a "partial" but will not be able to complete the merit badge at this event.
Registration and class catalog are here.
Sunday fun at special Scout prices at Jack Frost Big Boulder.
Skiing/ Snowboarding. Groups of 15 more more/ Ages 8+.
Guidelines: Please take into consideration the activities that we offer at the Whitewater Challengers Lehigh River Adventure Center. Designs must include: "2018", "SCOUT", and "Whitewater Challengers". The design can be any shape no larger than 3″ x3″. We are suggesting oval or rectangular approximately 2″ x3″ (see templates).
The winning designer will receive a FREE rafting trip in 2018.
Sunday, October 15, 2017 at Red Bulls Arena, 5 pm. Join your New York Red Bulls as they take on Atlanta United for Scout Night at Red Bull Arena.

Семёновка — село в Фёдоровском муниципальном районе Саратовской области, административный центр сельского поселения Семёновское муниципальное образование.

Население -

История

Основано в 1837 году православными крестьянами-малороссами на почтовом тракте из Новоузенска в Саратов. В 1855 году открыта церковь. На момент отмены крепостного права в Семёновке насчитывалось 140 дворов, 432 мужчины и 407 женщин. В 1870 году в селе открылась земская школа. Административно Семёновка входила в Фёдоровскую волость Новоузенского уезда Самарской губернии. Не позднее 1910 года Семёновка стала волостным селом Семёновской волости того же уезда.

По состоянию на 1910 год в селе имелись церковь, смешанная шестиклассная земская школа и смешанная церковно-приходская школа, земская станция, волостное правление, паровая водокачка и семь ветряных мельниц, работали приёмный покой, доктор, фельдшер и акушерка, в распоряжении крестьян находилось удобной надельной земли - 8104 десятины, неудобной – 1348.

После образования АССР немцев Поволжья — в составе Фёдоровского кантона. Согласно переписи 1926 года в Семёновке проживало 3214 человек, 581 домохозяйство (два немецких, 41 русское и 533 украинских). В годы коллективизации хозяйства села объединились в колхоз "Красный Октябрь". В 1932–1933 годах - массовый голод.

28 августа 1941 года был издан Указ Президиума ВС СССР о переселении немцев, проживающих в районах Поволжья. Немецкое население АССР немцев Поволжья было депортировано.

После ликвидации АССР немцев Поволжья Семёновка, как и другие населённые пункты Фёдоровского кантона было передано Саратовской области. Великая Отечественная война унесла жизни 159 жителей села.

Физико-географическая характеристика
Село расположено в Низком Заволжье, в пределах Сыртовой равнины, относящейся к Восточно-Европейской равнине, на правом берегу реки Еруслан, на высоте около 70-75 метров над уровнем моря. Рельеф местности равнинный, слабохолмистый. Почвы тёмно-каштановые.

По автомобильным дорогам расстояние до районного центра рабочего посёлка Мокроус — 9,9 км, до областного центра города Саратов — 130 км.

Q: IOS calling WCF service I am trying to call a WCF service from IOS Xcode. I am generating the code from WSDL using SuDz-C. The code is successfully generated as far as the Exposed classes and methods are concerned. But, the Enums that are exposed from my WCF service are not generated in the code.
When i access this service from a .Net client all the classes,methods and enums are generated successfully. But the IOS client has Enums missing.
Can anyone help me out on how to get the Exposed Enum values from the WCF service.

Q: How can I serialize a numpy array while preserving matrix dimensions? numpy.array.tostring doesn't seem to preserve information about matrix dimensions (see this question), requiring the user to issue a call to numpy.array.reshape.
Is there a way to serialize a numpy array to JSON format while preserving this information?
Note:  The arrays may contain ints, floats or bools.  It's reasonable to expect a transposed array.
Note 2:  this is being done with the intent of passing the numpy array through a Storm topology using streamparse, in case such information ends up being relevant.

A: pickle.dumps or numpy.save encode all the information needed to reconstruct an arbitrary NumPy array, even in the presence of endianness issues, non-contiguous arrays, or weird structured dtypes. Endianness issues are probably the most important; you don't want array([1]) to suddenly become array([16777216]) because you loaded your array on a big-endian machine. pickle is probably the more convenient option, though save has its own benefits, given in the npy format rationale.
I'm giving options for serializing to JSON or a bytestring, because the original questioner needed JSON-serializable output, but most people coming here probably don't.
The pickle way:
import pickle
a = # some NumPy array

# Bytestring option
serialized = pickle.dumps(a)
deserialized_a = pickle.loads(serialized)

# JSON option
# latin-1 maps byte n to unicode code point n
serialized_as_json = json.dumps(pickle.dumps(a).decode('latin-1'))
deserialized_from_json = pickle.loads(json.loads(serialized_as_json).encode('latin-1'))

numpy.save uses a binary format, and it needs to write to a file, but you can get around that with io.BytesIO:
a = # any NumPy array
memfile = io.BytesIO()
numpy.save(memfile, a)

serialized = memfile.getvalue()
serialized_as_json = json.dumps(serialized.decode('latin-1'))
# latin-1 maps byte n to unicode code point n

And to deserialize:
memfile = io.BytesIO()

# If you're deserializing from a bytestring:
memfile.write(serialized)
# Or if you're deserializing from JSON:
# memfile.write(json.loads(serialized_as_json).encode('latin-1'))
memfile.seek(0)
a = numpy.load(memfile)

A: I found the code in Msgpack-numpy helpful.
https://github.com/lebedov/msgpack-numpy/blob/master/msgpack_numpy.py
I modified the serialised dict slightly and added base64 encoding to reduce the serialised size.
By using the same interface as json (providing load(s),dump(s)), you can provide a drop-in replacement for json serialisation.
This same logic can be extended to add any automatic non-trivial serialisation, such as datetime objects.

EDIT
I've written a generic, modular, parser that does this and more.
https://github.com/someones/jaweson

My code is as follows:
np_json.py
from json import *
import json
import numpy as np
import base64

def to_json(obj):
    if isinstance(obj, (np.ndarray, np.generic)):
        if isinstance(obj, np.ndarray):
            return {
                '__ndarray__': base64.b64encode(obj.tostring()),
                'dtype': obj.dtype.str,
                'shape': obj.shape,
            }
        elif isinstance(obj, (np.bool_, np.number)):
            return {
                '__npgeneric__': base64.b64encode(obj.tostring()),
                'dtype': obj.dtype.str,
            }
    if isinstance(obj, set):
        return {'__set__': list(obj)}
    if isinstance(obj, tuple):
        return {'__tuple__': list(obj)}
    if isinstance(obj, complex):
        return {'__complex__': obj.__repr__()}

    # Let the base class default method raise the TypeError
    raise TypeError('Unable to serialise object of type {}'.format(type(obj)))

def from_json(obj):
    # check for numpy
    if isinstance(obj, dict):
        if '__ndarray__' in obj:
            return np.fromstring(
                base64.b64decode(obj['__ndarray__']),
                dtype=np.dtype(obj['dtype'])
            ).reshape(obj['shape'])
        if '__npgeneric__' in obj:
            return np.fromstring(
                base64.b64decode(obj['__npgeneric__']),
                dtype=np.dtype(obj['dtype'])
            )[0]
        if '__set__' in obj:
            return set(obj['__set__'])
        if '__tuple__' in obj:
            return tuple(obj['__tuple__'])
        if '__complex__' in obj:
            return complex(obj['__complex__'])

    return obj

# over-write the load(s)/dump(s) functions
def load(*args, **kwargs):
    kwargs['object_hook'] = from_json
    return json.load(*args, **kwargs)

def loads(*args, **kwargs):
    kwargs['object_hook'] = from_json
    return json.loads(*args, **kwargs)

def dump(*args, **kwargs):
    kwargs['default'] = to_json
    return json.dump(*args, **kwargs)

def dumps(*args, **kwargs):
    kwargs['default'] = to_json
    return json.dumps(*args, **kwargs)

You should be able to then do the following:
import numpy as np
import np_json as json
np_data = np.zeros((10,10), dtype=np.float32)
new_data = json.loads(json.dumps(np_data))
assert (np_data == new_data).all()

A: Msgpack has the best serialization performance: http://www.benfrederickson.com/dont-pickle-your-data/
Use msgpack-numpy. See https://github.com/lebedov/msgpack-numpy
Install it:
pip install msgpack-numpy

Then:
import msgpack
import msgpack_numpy as m
import numpy as np

x = np.random.rand(5)
x_enc = msgpack.packb(x, default=m.encode)
x_rec = msgpack.unpackb(x_enc, object_hook=m.decode)

A: If it needs to be human readable and you know that this is a numpy array:
import numpy as np;
import json;

a = np.random.normal(size=(50,120,150))
a_reconstructed = np.asarray(json.loads(json.dumps(a.tolist())))
print np.allclose(a,a_reconstructed)
print (a==a_reconstructed).all()

Maybe not the most efficient as the array sizes grow larger, but works for smaller arrays.

A: EDIT: As one can read in the comments of the question this solution deals with "normal" numpy arrays (floats, ints, bools ...) and not with multi-type structured arrays.
Solution for serializing a numpy array of any dimensions and data types
As far as I know you can not simply serialize a numpy array with any data type and any dimension...but you can store its data type, dimension and information in a list representation and then serialize it using JSON.
Imports needed:
import json
import base64

For encoding you could use (nparray is some numpy array of any data type and any dimensionality):
json.dumps([str(nparray.dtype), base64.b64encode(nparray), nparray.shape])

After this you get a JSON dump (string) of your data, containing a list representation of its data type and shape as well as the arrays data/contents base64-encoded.
And for decoding this does the work (encStr is the encoded JSON string, loaded from somewhere):
# get the encoded json dump
enc = json.loads(encStr)

# build the numpy data type
dataType = numpy.dtype(enc[0])

# decode the base64 encoded numpy array data and create a new numpy array with this data & type
dataArray = numpy.frombuffer(base64.decodestring(enc[1]), dataType)

# if the array had more than one data set it has to be reshaped
if len(enc) > 2:
     dataArray.reshape(enc[2])   # return the reshaped numpy array containing several data sets

JSON dumps are efficient and cross-compatible for many reasons but just taking JSON leads to unexpected results if you want to store and load numpy arrays of any type and any dimension.
This solution stores and loads numpy arrays regardless of the type or dimension and also restores it correctly (data type, dimension, ...)
I tried several solutions myself months ago and this was the only efficient, versatile solution I came across.

A: This wraps the pickle-based answer by @user2357112 for easier JSON integration
The code below will encode it as base64.  It will handle numpy arrays of any type/size without needing to remember what it was.  It will also handle other arbitrary objects that can be pickled.
import numpy as np
import json
import pickle
import codecs

class PythonObjectEncoder(json.JSONEncoder):
    def default(self, obj):
        return {
            '_type': str(type(obj)),
            'value': codecs.encode(pickle.dumps(obj, protocol=pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL), "base64").decode('latin1')
            }

class PythonObjectDecoder(json.JSONDecoder):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        json.JSONDecoder.__init__(self, object_hook=self.object_hook, *args, **kwargs)

    def object_hook(self, obj):
        if '_type' in obj:
            try:
                return pickle.loads(codecs.decode(obj['value'].encode('latin1'), "base64"))
            except KeyError:
                return obj
        return obj

# Create arbitrary array
originalNumpyArray = np.random.normal(size=(3, 3))
print(originalNumpyArray)

# Serialization
numpyData = {
   "array": originalNumpyArray
   }
encodedNumpyData = json.dumps(numpyData, cls=PythonObjectEncoder)
print(encodedNumpyData)

# Deserialization
decodedArrays = json.loads(encodedNumpyData, cls=PythonObjectDecoder)
finalNumpyArray = decodedArrays["array"]

# Verify
print(finalNumpyArray)
print(np.allclose(originalNumpyArray, finalNumpyArray))
print((originalNumpyArray==finalNumpyArray).all())

A: Try numpy-serializer:
Download
pip install numpy-serializer

Usage
import numpy_serializer as ns
import numpy as np

a = np.random.normal(size=(50,120,150))
b = ns.to_bytes(a)
c = ns.from_bytes(b)
assert np.array_equal(a,c)

A: Try traitschema https://traitschema.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

"Create serializable, type-checked schema using traits and Numpy. A typical use case involves saving several Numpy arrays of varying shape and type."

A: Try using numpy.array_repr or numpy.array_str.

Q: Which is the "One-Click Ruby Installer"? I have a hard time reading open source file download pages like this http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167 . I click the "One-Click Ruby Installer" link on this page http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/getting-started/installation/windows and it takes me there.
I understand most of it like the versions for mac, win and source, version numbers etc. But I just don't know which is the actual one click installer. This is something I've always overlooked with pages like this and I usually just gestimate which I needed. This process is really intimidating.
Which of the many links is the "One-Click Ruby Installer"?
Can you offer any advice on reading pages like these?

A: I usually have trouble locating the right download to sometimes, best to just try and find the actual home page and go from there.
http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
This is the web page for the Ruby Installer, there's three links right at the top that are for the most recent versions of the installer.
Edit: With regards to the gems+rails you have to install them individually after you install ruby. Depending on the gem you may need to download and install the development kit which is also on the page I linked above. The install for that is simple you just need to copy the files into the folder you installed rails.

A: Here's the correct link:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/71078/rubyinstaller-1.9.1-p378.exe
It was the last link under "Final" in the first list. If you look at the section to the right, you can see the file type and the intended OS. The last link in a section of the list is the newest.

A studious 15-year-old pupil from the south of France, Adèle enjoyed biology and dreamed of saving lives. But she led a double life. In one Facebook identity she was just a teenaged girl. In the other she was Oum Hawwa, chosen by Allah to help "brothers and sisters" in Syria. Early this year Adèle failed to come home, flew out of Marseille and made it to Syria. Her family says she is now a hostage of jihadists.
Such stories have become more common as France, home to Europe's biggest Muslim minority, struggles with the flow of would-be jihadists to Syria and Iraq. Bernard Cazeneuve, the interior minister, reckons 930 French citizens are either already there or trying to go. Another 36 have died fighting. Although on a per-head basis its jihadists are outnumbered by Belgian and Danish ones, France supplies the largest single contingent. Almost a fifth are female. Some entire families have gone.
Most French jihadists are recruited through one of two routes, says Dounia Bouzar, author of "They Sought Paradise, They Found Hell", a new book that traces the paths of those like Adèle. Young men, many of whom might have joined the police or the army and have "a tormented relationship with their virility" are, she says, seduced by the promise of a mission and a purpose free of Western lies. The appeal to young girls, by contrast, is often a humanitarian desire to help innocent children; many female recruits hoped to be nurses, doctors or social workers.
Their daughter Sahra is one of the more than 100 girls from France alone who have left to join jihad in Syria, up from just a handful 18 months ago, when the trip was not even on Europe's security radar, officials say.
A striking feature of this new wave, says Mr Cazeneuve, is its "self-service" nature. Individuals reach jihadist recruiters in a few internet clicks or on social media, and can be on a low-cost flight via Turkey in no time. Jihad also holds appeal for middle-class teenagers and non-Muslims.
The government says almost half of French jihadists were previously unknown to the police, and 20% are converts. Of the 130 families who have contacted an early-warning centre set up by Ms Bouzar, 70% are non-believers, few have much knowledge of the Koran or Arabic, and many come from middle-class families.
France has long been unapologetically tough on terrorism, and the police have sweeping rights to detain and charge suspects. But the French have felt disarmed in the face of the casual departure of youngsters on cheap flights to Turkey. The wake-up call was the arrest in Marseille of Mehdi Nemmouche, a Frenchman now in custody in Belgium, who is suspected of shooting dead four people at a Jewish museum in Brussels in May after fighting for Islamic State (IS) in Syria.
Mr Cazeneuve is now pushing a tough new counter-terrorism law through parliament. It turns individual terrorist intent into a criminal offence (the current law requires "association" with others) and makes it possible to stop suspects from leaving France if there is "serious reason" to believe their trip is linked to terrorist activity. Although this gives counter-terrorism authorities considerable preventive powers, and civil-liberties groups have criticised some provisions, the bill enjoys broad cross-party support.
The main reason for this political consensus is that the French are on high alert over the terrorist risk at home, thanks to the return of people like Mr Nemmouche. France's participation in air strikes against IS in Iraq has made it a target. In September Hervé Gourdel, a Frenchman, was beheaded in Algeria by a terrorist group linked to IS. Some 119 terrorist suspects have been arrested in France, 81 charged and 56 jailed. When asked by a recent visitor what keeps him awake at night, Manuel Valls, the prime minister, replied: terrorism.
