El clima de Bolivia,  comprende una amplia variedad de climas: desde el tropical en Los Llanos, hasta el polar en las altas cordilleras de los Andes. Bolivia se sitúa dentro de la zona del Trópico de Capricornio. Además de la variabilidad de las condiciones climatológicas, muchos lugares del país presentan climas irregulares a lo largo del año o variaciones grandes e imprevisibles. Las condiciones climáticas del país están determinadas por una combinación de factores entre los cuales los más importantes son los siguientes

 La posición geoastronómica
 La latitud
 La ubicación en los trópicos
 La altitud
 La variedad de relieves que presenta el país así como la existencia de zonas planas
 La circulación de los vientos alisios
 Los surazos
 El fenómeno de El Niño.

Estos factores modifican la temperatura, la precipitación, la humedad, el viento, la presión atmosférica, la evaporación y la evotranspiración, dando lugar a climas diferentes en todo el ámbito nacional.

Según la clasificación climática de Köppen, Bolivia incluye dentro de sus límites al menos a 10 de los grandes subtipos climáticos, yendo desde el clima tropical en la amazonía boliviana, a la tundra en el suroeste, húmedo subtropical en el Chapare, clima de estepa en el chaco boliviano. Por su cercanía a la línea del Ecuador, las cuatro estaciones del año no son muy marcadas,

La estación de lluvias en el país abarca de noviembre a marzo.

Introducción
Aunque Bolivia yace enteramente dentro de latitudes tropicales, las condiciones climáticas varían mucho desde el tropical en los Llanos bolivianos, hasta el polar en las altas cordilleras de los Andes. Las temperaturas dependen primariamente de la elevación y muestran pequeñas variaciones estacionales. En muchas localidades, la lluvia es pesada durante el verano, y sus cantidades decrecen de norte a sur. Además de la variabilidad de las condiciones climatológicas, muchos lugares del país presentan climas irregulares a lo largo del año con variaciones grandes e imprevisibles.

Las condiciones climáticas del país están determinadas por una combinación de factores entre los cuales los más importantes son la posición geoastronómica, la latitud, la proximidad al trópico, la altitud, la variedad de relieves, la circulación de los vientos alisios, los surazos y el fenómeno del Niño.

La estación de lluvias en el país abarca de noviembre a marzo. Estos factores modifican la temperatura, las precipitaciones, la humedad, el viento, la presión atmosférica, la evaporación y la evapotranspiración, dando lugar a climas diferentes en todo el ámbito nacional.

Las temperaturas dependen sobre todo de la elevación y demuestran poca variación estacional. En la mayoría de los lugares, la precipitación es más elevada durante el verano meridional del hemisferio, y la cantidad anual tienden a disminuir de norte a sur.

Regiones climáticas

Llanos

 Las áreas norteñas de los llanos tienen un clima húmedo tropical con temperaturas altas a lo largo de todo el año, con una humedad alta y precipitación alta. La temperatura tiene un promedio superior a los 25 °C todo el año en la mayoría de los lugares. Los vientos provenientes de la cuenca del amazonas traen lluvias significativas, esta lluvia cae a menudo con truenos, acompañados a veces por los vientos de fuertes granizos. Las áreas centrales de los llanos tienen un clima húmedo tropical.

 Las áreas de los llanos del Departamento de Santa Cruz tienen un clima significativamente más seco, con una estación seca más marcada y en algunas regiones lo suficientemente moderada para permitir la agricultura intensiva todo el año. En esta región el clima experimenta una transición desde el clima tropical húmedo del norte amazónico hacia el clima subtropical seco del Chaco en el sur.

 Entre los meses de octubre y abril los vientos secos con dirección nor-oeste predominan y el tiempo se vuelve caliente, húmedo y lluvioso. Sin embargo a entre mayo y septiembre, estos vientos secos producen una precipitación mínima. Durante esta estación, los días claros y las noches despejadas permiten que las temperaturas en el día sean altas y bajas en la noche. Las incursiones ocasionales de vientos fuertes del sur, llamadas los surazos, pueden alcanzar esta región durante invierno y traer temperaturas frescas o frias por varios días. La permanencia de los bajas temperaturas a raíz de los "surazos" suele ser más larga en las regiones ubicadas más al sur, así como menor la temperatura, tal es así que un "surazo" en invierno puede bajar la temperatura promedio diaria durante 1-3 días e incluso horas en una ciudad como Cobija ubicada al extremo norte del país, mientras que en Santa Cruz de la Sierra las temperaturas se pueden mantener bajas durante varias semanas y alcanzar promedios mucho más bajos.

Chaco
 El Chaco tiene un clima semitropical, semiárido. Los vientos nororientales traen la lluvia y la humedad a partir de enero; los otros meses son secos con días calurosos y noches frescas. La temperatura máxima registrada en Bolivia fue de 47 °C y se produjo en esta zona. Los surazos también afectan al Chaco; su llegada se avista generalmente por una línea chubascos. Las temperaturas y las cantidades de precipitación en áreas de montaña varían considerablemente.

Valles
 Los valles y yungas están ubicados en los Departamentos de regiones centrales de Cochabamba y Chuquisaca y regiones de La Paz. Estos son donde los vientos nororientales húmedos son empujados hacia las montañas, que hacen que esta zona sea más húmedas y lluviosa. Tarija tiene regiones de Yungas cálidas y Valles. Los valles "zonas centrales" de Tarija tienen un clima de valle templado, en el oeste del departamento el clima es templado solo en verano. La ciudad capital y cercanías tienen un clima semiárido cálido-templado de calor y sensación mediterráneo, en los veranos medio seco con humedad y los inviernos secos pero con sensación de humedad y sin muchas precipitaciones. A este departamento le llega los vientos patagónicos y oceánicos del Chile y Argentina. Los valles que están dentro de la Cordillera Oriental tienen temperaturas suaves y las cantidades de precipitación son moderadas con un promedio de 640 a 760 mm anuales. Las temperaturas caen con el aumento de la altura, sin embargo, las nevadas son posibles en elevaciones que oscilan entre los 2.000 , la nieve permanente se encuentra por encima de los 4.600 msnm Las zonas a partir de los 5.500 msnm tienen un clima polar, con zonas de glaciar. Los picos de la Cordillera Occidental se convierten en desiertos fríos y altos por los vientos fuertes.

Andes
 Las temperaturas caen con el incremento de la elevación. La caída de nevadas es posible por encima de 3.000  (metros sobre el nivel del mar), y la línea de "nieve eterna" está a 4.600  Las áreas sobre los 5.500 msnm tienen un clima polar, con zonas glaciares. La Cordillera Occidental es un desierto de altura con picos azotados por viento helado.

Altiplano
 El Altiplano, que también es barrido por los vientos fuertes y fríos, tiene un clima árido-frío, con diferencias agudas en la temperatura diaria y las cantidades de precipitación que disminuyen de norte a sur. La temperatura media durante el día se encuentra entre los 15 a 20 °C, pero con el verano tropical y el sol las temperaturas pueden llegar a 27 °C. Sin embargo justo después de anochecer el aire conserva poco calor, en la noche las temperaturas caen drásticamente y se sitúan justo por encima de cero grados. El lago Titicaca ejerce una influencia de moderación, pero solo la iguala en sus orillas, las heladas ocurren casi cada mes, y la nieve es frecuente.

Cambio climático

Desde hace algún tiempo, Bolivia siente los impactos del aumento en frecuencia e intensidad de los eventos climáticos como sequías, inundaciones, deslizamientos, granizadas, heladas, incendios y temperaturas extremas, situación que ha agravado los factores internos de vulnerabilidad existentes en el país.

Las manifestaciones del cambio climático en Bolivia aún se encuentran poco estudiadas, los aportes se basan en:
 observaciones científicas puntuales;
 percepciones locales poco sistematizadas y
 generadas en función a modelos climáticos que todavía presentan altos niveles de incertidumbre.

A continuación se presentan los avances sobre la percepción del cambio climático en Bolivia.

Temperatura
Sobre la base de estudios glaciológicos, se ha evidenciado que la temperatura en la cordillera tropical andina ha subido entre 0,10° y 0,11 °C por década desde 1939. El ritmo del calentamiento se está incrementando en estos últimos 25 años entre 0,32° y 0,34 °C por década. Asimismo, un estudio del Programa Nacional de Cambios Climáticos (PNCC, 2007) complementa esta tendencia de aumento de temperatura en los Andes a partir de observaciones sobre la incidencia de la malaria en comunidades del Altiplano.

La temperatura en la zona amazónica ha subido en 0,08 °C por década en el periodo 1901 hasta 2001.

Se pronostican mayores incrementos de temperatura en los próximos años, los sectores más afectados serán los del hemisferio sur, en altitudes mayores a los 5.000

Las temperaturas máximas tienen una variación homogénea en las zonas semiáridas del país (altiplano y chaco), mientras que las temperaturas mínimas presentan mayor heterogeneidad (mayor incremento en el departamento de Cochabamba y mayores reducciones en el departamento de Potosí). Una mayor amplitud térmica se espera en el altiplano. En los valles centrales de los departamentos de Potosí y Chuquisaca la amplitud térmica influye sobre el valor de la demanda atmosférica de vapor de agua (clima de desierto). Simulaciones matemáticas e indican que las tendencias proyectadas al año 2050 muestran claros aumentos de la temperatura máxima y disminución de la temperatura mínima.

Glaciares
Aparte de evidenciar una aceleración en el incremento de la temperatura, investigadores observan una clara relación entre el derretimiento de los glaciares y los eventos de El Niño.  El IPCC (Panel Intergubernamental sobre Cambio Climático) agrega que el aumento de la temperatura atmosférica ha generado una aceleración del retroceso de los glaciares en la región andina, con consecuentes impactos sobre la disponibilidad de agua.

Mayores incrementos de temperatura en los años que vienen afectarán de manera considerable la cordillera de los Andes.

Precipitación
En cuanto a las precipitaciones, los estudios muestran algunas tendencias generales. Seth et al. (2010), con los resultados del multimodelo matemático en alguno de los escenarios analizados, señala que entre las latitudes 10° S y 20º S8 se encuentra un descenso en la precipitación durante la primavera (septiembre-noviembre). Una vez que se establecen las lluvias, durante la época alta (diciembre a marzo), éstas son más abundantes y el aumento persiste hasta abril. Esta tendencia es consistente con la observada por el PNCC en el año 2000, con base en el Índice de Vegetación Normalizado (NDVI) de imágenes NOAA9, que muestra una reducción entre los meses de septiembre-octubre y aumento en el mes de noviembre, lo que evidencia un acortamiento en la fase de lluvias.

Otros estudios muestran tendencias globales en determinadas regiones del país. La precipitación en la Amazonía boliviana aumentó en 15% desde 1970 y la frecuencia de inundaciones en la cuenca del río Mamoré se acrecentó debido al incremento de la precipitación.

Respecto a la temática de las tendencias de precipitación en la zona un análisis regional de los Andes y el altiplano, Jaffrain (2007)  muestra una tendencia al aumento durante los últimos años. Al respecto, se hace notar que otros autores como Vuille et al. (2003) o estudios como los del PRAA (2008) manifiestan resultados y tendencias opuestas, y se observa además que paralelamente un compendio de resultados sobre modelos del IPCC presentan ambigüedad sobre esta situación.

En verano, época de lluvia, Francou et al. (2003) indican que el 50% de la precipitación anual en el altiplano cae en tres meses (diciembre-enero-febrero). En esta época, la precipitación que desciende en forma de nieve se acumula en los glaciares, por lo tanto, el sostenimiento y restablecimiento del volumen anual de glaciares depende de la cantidad de precipitación de la época húmeda.

Las comunidades locales también perciben cambios en las condiciones normales del clima. Las sistematizaciones realizadas, entre otros,  por PNCC (2008), AGRECOL (2009), CIPCA (2009), AGRUCO (2010) en varios lugares del país reportan estas percepciones locales que en la mayoría de los casos coinciden y/o complementan con información cualitativa los estudios científicos.

Testigos de hielo
El retroceso de los glaciares tropicales ha sido reconocido como indicador del cambio climático y presenta evidencias respecto a la relación entre el balance de la masa glaciar con diversos parámetros climáticos, como la precipitación, temperatura, albedo (entre otros), y fenómenos atmosféricos y climáticos tales como El Niño.

Ramírez (2001) analiza el retroceso del glaciar Chacaltaya y predice su desaparición en menos de 15 años.

Wagnon et al. (2001) examina la relación entre El Niño y la fusión glaciar en Zongo, Charquini y Chacaltaya, los cuales fueron seleccionados por su valor científico y temáticas tales como la gestión de recursos hídricos y el análisis de los impactos del cambio climático, así como su adaptación, entre otros.:El análisis de monitoreo de esta red es presentado en los reportes anuales del Instituto de Investigación Francés para el Desarrollo (IRD Bolivia, 1995-2008). Igualmente, los datos correspondientes al monitoreo del glaciar de Zongo pueden ser encontrados en los reportes de GLACIOCLIM (GLACIOCLIM, 2010) . La importancia de este trabajo respecto al análisis de cambio climático radica esencialmente en la reconstrucción climática que es obtenida de los testigos de hielo13 de los glaciares de nuestra región, que ofrece un "punto de partida climático" para los análisis a futuro.

Inundaciones
Las áreas de inundación se encuentran en mayor proporción en la cuenca del Amazonas (que abarca el 66% del total del territorio), los municipios más afectados en los últimos cinco años son los departamentos de Santa Cruz, Beni, La Paz y Cochabamba.
De la cuenca del Plata los afectados son los municipios de los departamentos de Chuquisaca y Tarija. La amenaza de inundación es de alto grado en la cuenca del Amazonas, que afecta especialmente a los municipios ubicados en los márgenes de la subcuenca del Mamoré, subcuenca del Río Grande y a lo largo de los ríos que tienen el mismo nombre, además del río San Julián, donde el coeficiente de escurrimiento es bajo o medio, entre los que destacan determinados lugares de los municipios de Trinidad, Santa Ana, San Javier y San Ignacio de Moxos. En grado medio se presenta la propensión a inundación en municipios que tienen relación con la subcuenca del río Beni, subcuenca del río Iténez y Madre de Dios. Además, en esas zonas la evapotranspiración real anual es alta o media. También hay lugares puntuales en occidente, con amenaza de inundación de grado medio.

Sequías
La amenaza de sequía  es de grado alto en la zona suroeste, que comprende parte de los departamentos de Potosí y Oruro (alrededor de la cordillera Occidental); y de grado medio en el altiplano, donde afecta a determinadas zonas del subandino (cordillera Oriental). De igual forma, la sequía meteorológica afecta a la región del chaco de los departamentos de Santa Cruz, Chuquisaca y Tarija. La zona más húmeda es el Chapare, ubicado al noreste del departamento de Cochabamba. Los departamentos que registran un mayor número de eventos de sequía en los años 1970-2006 son  Santa Cruz,  Cochabamba y Tarija, con 33, 25 y 13 casos, respectivamente. Los departamentos donde la sequía es muy poco frecuente son La Paz y Beni.
Las áreas expuestas a déficit hídrico y sequía estacional son los valles pertenecientes a la zona central del país (departamentos de Potosí, Oruro, sur de La Paz, Chuquisaca, Cochabamba y Tarija) y recurrente en la zona del chaco; también se presentan situaciones de déficit en el altiplano.
Se observan tendencias en la variación de los patrones climatológicos con el análisis de 28 estaciones meteorológicas (excluyendo Beni y Pando) en series de 30 años de observación. Las diferentes zonas áridas y semiáridas del país muestran tendencias al aumento de la demanda de vapor de agua de la atmósfera y mayores niveles de amplitud térmica, incidiendo sobre el índice de aridez en las regiones semiáridas.
Con el apoyo de la Comunidad Andina de Naciones (CAN), se ha elaborado un atlas de los ecosistemas de los Andes del norte y centro, que ha permitido evaluar la vulnerabilidad de los ecosistemas andinos a través del desarrollo de modelos de distribución de vegetación en escenarios de cambio climático y dinámicas de cambios en el uso del suelo  De la misma manera, se ha elaborado un índice de vulnerabilidad climática, con base en el agua como foco, y se ha determinado que Bolivia se halla en una situación de riesgo medio.

Heladas
Se considera la ocurrencia de heladas cuando la temperatura del aire, registrada en el abrigo meteorológico (es decir, a 1,50 metros sobre el nivel del suelo) es de 0 °C (Oxfam-FUNDEPCO, 2008).
Las características climáticas del occidente boliviano configuran un contexto propenso a la amenaza de helada u ocurrencia de temperatura igual o menor a cero grados centígrados a un nivel de 1,5 a 2 metros sobre el suelo. Alcanzan un alto grado el suroeste y el occidente del país, disminuyendo el grado de amenaza de alta a baja desde la cordillera Occidental hasta la cordillera Oriental, cubriendo la mayor parte de los departamentos de Oruro y Potosí, y el sur del departamento de La Paz hasta el norte del lago Titicaca, bordeando la zona de los Yungas, con alta incidencia en los meses de mayo, junio y julio
En el altiplano, las heladas constituyen uno de las mayores limitantes para la agricultura. Las proporciones de heladas severas durante el verano todavía son significativas.
Allirol (1992) analizaron la ocurrencia de heladas durante el verano sobre la base de datos del instrumento térmico (infrarrojo) del satélite NOAA. Las zonas de laderas, así como los alrededores del salar de Coipasa y Uyuni, presentan menores riesgos de heladas que otras áreas.

Observación y conocimiento ancestral

Las observaciones y conocimientos ancestrales de predicción climática son utilizados para la toma de decisiones en la actividad agrícola en las comunidades rurales. De acuerdo con Ponce (2003), la predicción del clima tiene su origen en la herencia cultural de los pueblos prehispánicos y constituye parte fundamental del sistema de conocimientos de esta cultura en lo que corresponde al desarrollo de las actividades productivas.

Es una práctica vigente en las comunidades campesinas, que consiste esencialmente en la observación e interpretación de diferentes estados fenomenológicos de plantas silvestres, comportamiento de aves e insectos (fauna silvestre), fenómenos astronómicos y físicos que llevan al campesino finalmente a la toma de decisiones orientadas hacia el inicio de las siembras.

La revalorización de este tipo de conocimiento debe empezar por reconocer que es científico y está muy lejos de ser superstición o fetiche, ya que se basa en la observación sistemática de los eventos, de las señales y alegorías de la realidad, en el manejo de patrones, la fenomenología y en el entendimiento de que todo está vinculado con todo, base del conocimiento holístico. Este conocimiento holístico ha sido utilizado por civilizaciones durante milenios en esta región para domesticar plantas y animales, y desarrollar la agricultura.

Los agricultores de zona de Puna, cabecera de valle y valles de Cochabamba, La Paz, Potosí, Santa Cruz, Chuquisaca y Tarija han mostrado preocupación por las consecuencias que podría acarrear el cambio climático.

Traditional beef tripe stew called menudo.
Can you pick bluebonnets in Texas?
There is actually no law that prohibits picking bluebonnets in Texas, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. However, in certain areas it may be illegal or dangerous. Also, it's important to be courteous and take care of the flowers so that all Texans can enjoy them.
Why do Texans think Texas is so great?
Gallup suggests that Texas' unique history, geography, natural resources and environmental features may contribute to Texans being so proud of Texas.
Why do they say everything is bigger in Texas?
The saying that everything is bigger in Texas likely originated as a reference to the enormity of the state's geographical area. In terms of square miles, Texas is second only to Alaska in size, and it is the largest of the contiguous 48 states.
What was Texas before it was Texas?
Although Mexico's war of independence pushed out Spain in 1821, Texas did not remain a Mexican possession for long. It became its own country, called the Republic of Texas, from 1836 until it agreed to join the United States in 1845. Sixteen years later, it seceded along with 10 other states to form the Confederacy.

Twelve-year old Leila knows little more of the world than the view from her family's mud-brick hut on the steep slopes of the Atlas Mountains. The family barely has enough to eat and her father, an illiterate tanner, has taken to drinking and brutalizing her mother. Leila's greatest hope is to marry the son of the village shopkeeper, a union that would allow her to feed her family. Understanding that being a girl bars her from attending the village school, she knows she is destined to become a wife, bear her husband's children, and to live like all the women who came before her.
Leila's dreams are destroyed in one night when three strangers arrive at their hut, seeking payment for her father's gambling debt. Seeing no objects of any value, they take her, instead. Dragging her away from the only life she has ever known, Leila is forced into the back of a truck. She knows at that moment that she is unlikely to ever see her mother, brothers, or her home, again.
Thus begins Leila's long journey into silence:
The silence of a child sold to a brothel in a distant city.
The silence of a young woman passed on to a judge who exploits her as his servant.
The silence of a barely literate woman who suffers years of rape, beatings and hunger.
Leila survives by clinging to memories of her mountain village and the love of her mother. When she meets two educated sisters who are determined to improve women's lives she gains her first glimmering of hope — and the courage to take her freedom.
After a harrowing escape she slowly reclaims her life through the love of a family facing their own search for healing. Knowing kindness, safety and respect for the first time, Leila begins to trust in all the promises that life can hold.
Set in modern-day Morocco, Leila:The Weighted Silence of Memory is a journey of rebirth and a testament of one woman's struggle to find meaning in her own humanity.
This story of modern-day human trafficking illuminates the experience of victims of slavery throughout the world.
The Origins of Leila: The Weighted Silence of Memory
Essaouira, Morocco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Perched on the northeastern coast of the African continent, her white walls enclose a pearl of Moorish architecture comprised of winding alleys and cobbled streets. The mighty Atlantic beats out a rhythm against ancient rocks that once welcomed ships from around the world, and the blue sky nestles against her elegant minarets and turreted houses under the equatorial sun.
This is a city that gives rise to tales, both fanciful and sorrowful. "Leila: The Weighted Silence of Memory"is such a tale—born in a single moment, captured in a fleeting photograph and grown over decades of memory. I visited Essaouira in 1985 and observed a cloaked woman walking across the sands, her skirts billowing even as her hooded face remained in shadow. A photograph of her figure, set against the restlessly approaching waves, haunted me until I copied it as a painting on a wall-sized canvas. For two decades this painting has hung in various rooms in my home and I thought daily of Essaouira and the unknown woman walking by the sea.
Leila is at once the simplest and most difficult book I have written. The events in Leila's life rolled almost effortlessly from my mind to the page, yet the story is so dark that I have little memory of actually writing it. Her will to survive seems very familiar to me, for it is the stories of my own ancestors. However, as her story unfolded it became increasingly and painfully clear to me that nothing I have ever experienced can be compared to her suffering, and I genuinely feel that writing this book gave me a greater appreciation of the privileges and advantages I enjoy in my own life.
Leila's cruel fate is the fault of a culture that, it seems to me, turns its most vulnerable members into prey. A lack of education, of professional opportunity or the chance for financial improvement leaves untold millions of men and women like Leila at the mercy of those who would exploit them. This is not, therefore, simply a novel about modern-day slavery—it is a novel about the kinds of physical, emotional and sexual exploitation that we cannot ignore in the world today.
This is not a story about Morocco. It is not about Islamic culture. It is about illiteracy and the desperation of the poor and the oppression of women. It might have been set in any number of cities, embedded in the traditions of any of our world cultures. "Leila: The Weighted Silence of Memory"takes place in Essaouira because of a single moment that haunted me until it found its place in these pages. I hope that, at the least, you find it meaningful. In the best of all worlds, I would hope that you enjoy this tale, too.
With warmest greetings,
Praise for Leila: The Weighted Silence of Memory
"Leila is brave, compelling fiction that speaks many truths about a subject fraught with silence and denial. Moments of human connection, hope and resistance punctuate Leila's descent into increasing domination and despair. The nuanced characters are true to their context, and while the setting may be unfamiliar, the tactics and justifications of Leila's oppressors, as well as the physical and emotional scars they cause, exist across religions and nations that have substantial economic and gender inequality. Leila struggles to make sense of her situation and exercise her limited autonomy in her own way, but variations of her physical and emotional scars remain permanently with enslaved women across nations and religions, even if they are fortunate enough to find a space to start healing."

"Hold onto your heart for it will surely break as Heather Neff deftly takes you on a heart wrenching, yet ultimately satisfying journey from self loss to self love. Your travel guide is Leila, a woman child who lives in a world where women have little value except to serve and service men. Stolen into servitude because of the sins of her father, she suffers physical, sexual and emotional abuse. Even when she is physically free, her spirit remains enslaved by the ghosts of her pasts and fears for her future. Leila finds acceptance and appreciation through a woman who takes her in and helps her see an inner strength that is far more valuable than her uncommon outer beauty. Neff, a supremely gifted writer, captures the reader with words so engaging it is as if you're being held hostage by this sorrowful tale as it blooms into a story of hope."
—Cassandra Spratling, The Detroit Free Press
"I finished reading Leila: The Weighted Silence of Memory a little less than a week ago, and it was the best book I've read in several months. The story is poignant, although tragic, and is masterfully written so that the reader becomes engrossed from start to finish. While Leila is fiction, the book highlights the all-too-common inhumanity of modern-day human trafficking, and I hope it will bring more light to this very serious issue. I had the pleasure of meeting the author at a book review, just after finishing Leila, and I loved her and her writing style so much that I bought her 4 other books that day. Heather Neff is a serious writer with unusual stories that trounce a lot of the other "fluffy" romance novels on bookstore shelves today!"
—Tiffany Otis-Albert
"This book is great! Its a well written eye-opening story of the hardships of women born in cultures that devalue women—at times, thrilling, suspenseful, heart wrenching - yet hopeful."
—Alta Harrison
An Unforgettable Story
"Leila confronts issues of human trafficking—something that affects thousands worldwide and is not talked about enough—in a beautiful, delicate way. This book will change your life!!
I just can't say it enough - this book is wonderful!! Very poignant, gripping story, great detail, strong characters and very well written. The story just flows well and takes you on a journey. If you're having any doubt about getting this book, don't - One of the best books I've ever read and I thoroughly enjoyed it."
—lheffelf
"I had Heather Neff as a professor and we read this book in class. It is very touching and was a wonderful look into the life of this woman/girl. It really makes you think about how this world works. I was so touched by this story that I have read it numerous times."
—Anonymous writer
Serious read for serious people
"Great read. Makes one appreciate and think about how precious liberty and individualism is and how in minutes it can be removed. Descriptions are great and makes you want to turn the page to see what happens next. Leila makes you think, cry and cheer hard for her like you'd cheer for your favorite sports team."

Many have believed in the rumor where Millie was reportedly dating Finn Wolfhard. Moreover, the duo kissed on set while working on the movie "Stranger Things" but the relationship between them has been kept professional and friendship based with nothing more attached. She reported deleting a picture of Finn on her Instagram page basically because the fans took her post in a wrong way. She was quoted saying
"There's basically something going round. I just wanna clear a few things up. So… I recently deleted a post on Instagram that was a picture of me and Finn and it was a post of us at the premiere and I said, obviously, that he was a great co-star.

Q: Python image processing library I want to modify image files (bmp, jpg, and png) by adding text on top of it in a specific area. For example if I were to draw an picture for an envelope and print different addresses on top in a designated area with specified fonts and colors which library would I use?
I am looking for something like this http://python-catalin.blogspot.com/2010/06/add-text-on-image-with-pil-module.html
But with a BSD license that can work with numpy and scipy with Python 3 since I just switched.
Is this a job for Scikit-image or Pillow (Not sure if it is BSD)? if not what can I use and which part of the library?

A: This can be achieved using freetype-py.  See the example here: https://code.google.com/p/freetype-py/source/browse/trunk/examples/hello-world.py
This would also be a good fit for the skimage.draw module, and we can certainly consider adding it.
