Q: Python HTTP POST requests serialized in AVRO I am trying to send data with an python script to Apache NiFi via HTTP requests. I can send it in JSON format without problems, but I am trying to do it serialized in AVRO.
One of my tries is in the code below (the output of the code is Response[405] at the requests* line).
import requests
import avro.schema
from avro.datafile import DataFileReader, DataFileWriter
from avro.io import DatumReader, DatumWriter

json = {'fname':'Foo','lname':'Bar','sex':'m','year':1900}
SCHEMA_PATH = r"<PATH_TO_AVSC>\user.avsc"
URL = <URL_TO_NIFI_LISTENHTTP>
schema = avro.schema.parse(open(SCHEMA_PATH, "rb").read())
import io
buf = io.BytesIO()
writer = DataFileWriter(buf, DatumWriter(), schema)
writer.append(json)
writer.flush()
buf.seek(0)
msg = buf.read()
requests.post(URL, data = msg)

Is it possible to send an AVRO serialized messages without creating and sending files, similar to my try, and where I go wrong?
Is there any big advantage by using AVRO instead of JSON? At the end, I could transfer the messages as JSON, but I would like to accomplish it in AVRO.

A:
Is it possible to send an AVRO serialized messages without creating and sending files, similar to my try, and where I go wrong?

The result of serializing data in avro is just a binary string so you should be able to send over that binary string to the server and have the server deserialize it. I'm not sure what your server code is doing, so I can't help explain the 405 error.

Is there any big advantage by using AVRO instead of JSON? At the end, I could transfer the messages as JSON, but I would like to accomplish it in AVRO.

The amount of data being transferred over the wire should be smaller using Avro (especially if you are sending multiple records at a time). You can decide if the bandwidth difference is significant enough to make it worth it.

Lampard calls for Chelsea response after defeat at Arsenal
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard expects his players to bounce back after their 3-1 defeat to London rivals Arsenal that saw them slip to seventh in the Premier League.
The defeat at The Emirates on Saturday was their third in four games after similar setbacks against Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Lampard said his players produced their worst performance of the season in the first half against Arsenal, where they conceded goals to Alexandre Lacazette and Granit Xhaka before Bukayo Saka added a third in the second half.
"I think there were clear errors in and a culmination of things that went against us in the game… The way we approached the first half on the pitch wasn't right," Lampard said, ahead of his side's home game with Aston Villa on Monday.
"We've seen it a lot this season, we've seen some crazy results. A lot of teams had some ups and downs, and at the minute we're in a position where with out of the last four games we've lost three of them and won one so that needs a reaction."
Lampard expects a tough test against Villa, who moved up to sixth with a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace despite playing half the match with 10 men.
With Villa keeping a league-high eight clean sheets so far this season, Lampard was quick to point to the influence of former England and Chelsea team mate John Terry, who now works as an assistant to Villa boss Dean Smith.
"I'm sure John has an influence because of the one of the, in my opinion, the greatest centre backs that have played in the Premier League and for England and in the world for a long period of time with an absolute wealth of knowledge of the game.
"His input will be invaluable to Dean Smith and all the staff. Obviously, the team are working hard, and you've seen a real big uplift in them."

Research Paper Topics in Education Law and Policy
May 15, 2017 /1 Comment/in Education, Law, QTA Blog, Research Paper Help, Student resources /by Alana Joli Abbott
Education can be a surprisingly contentious area for the development of law and policy. While many of the most pivotal cases, such as Brown v. Board of Education that ruled that segregated schools were unconstitutional, have long been accepted as common practice, federal education policies, such as the No Child Left Behind Act and the Common Core curriculum, have fierce debates between proponents and critics.
There are many available topics on education law. (Credit: wiseGEEK)
If you are looking for research paper topics in education law and policy, you could consider looking into the division between federal and state legislation, historic rulings that have changed education law or the role of standardized testing, as well as the debates on at what grade levels testing is most appropriate, and how much importance testing should be given when allowing schools to receive government funding.

Metropolitan Yevgeny critical of Constantinople Patriarchate ({{contentCtrl.commentsTotal}})
Metropolitan Yevgeny. Source: ERR
Congregations of the Estonian Orthodox Church of Moscow Patriarchate celebrated Christmas Eve on Sunday. In his Christmas Eve greeting, Metropolitan Yevgeny was critical of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.
Metropolitan Yevgeny of the Estonian Orthodox Church of Moscow Patriarchate said that it was not the Ukrainian Orthodox Church that gained independence fro the Patriarchate of Constantinople, but rather independence was granted to people trying to split up the church, reported ETV news broadcast "Aktuaalne kaamera."
Ukraine's independent orthodox church was founded December, prior to which the church had been split into three, part of which was tied to the Moscow Patriarchate.
"God willing that this does not lead to bloodshed, but that may happen, as Constantinople is trying to change canonical rules," Metropolitan Yevgeny told Aktuaalne kaamera. "I just have no words. Precisely because Constantinople granted autocephaly to those two groups dividing the church and not to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. This is a grave violation of canonical rules. The Orthodoxy cannot agree with this."
Archbishop Yevgeny (Eugeni) of Vereya was elected the new Metropolitan Bishop of Tallinn and All Estonia and head of the Estonian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate last May, prior to which he served as rector of the Moscow Theological Academy.
In his Christmas Eve greeting on Sunday, Metropolitan Yevgeny stressed that everyone should look inward at themselves and consider what they have done wrong or left undone.

Last Sunday my son and I went on a ride which has been one of our favourites for as long as we´ve been riding together. Also it was one of the first rides my son did at age 11. It´s not the landscape which is as flat as can be, and usually there´s a lot of wind to boot so we rarely go for a long distance, but it´s the really friendly people we keep meeting each time we go, riders as well as organizers. Also it´s a ride with very few participants, 180 this time, which gives a cozy atmosphere, and the people from Aschen cycling club stage the ride twice a year.
So twice a year, after about 45 minutes drive, we arrive in Aschen in our Volvo 745, nearly 22 years old and with roughly 367,000 km on the clock by now.
It´s been the same routine for years, several dozen times each season: My bike goes flat on the floor, my son´s leans to it, and the gear is in a plastic box with panniers and handle bar bags interspersed. There´s a big old blanket on my bike, the front wheels rest on this.
Once the bikes are reassembled, there´s registration, and more often than not some interesting bike shows up, too. This time it was what I think is the frame and some other bits of a 1973 Peugeot PX10.
There´s not much original equipment on it now, only the Stronglight chainset, but the paintwork is quite nice.
The mudguard stay seems to be riveted to the dropout end.
It was nearly time to set off when I saw this Claud Butler tandem – a rare bird indeed in Germany.
Then there was the start, and right away we were able to enjoy the sun – one of the few times this year so far as it was a very long winter. As the kilometers passed, we met a number of riders for chats about bikes and cycling. It was not all bikes, though, as the area is very much influenced by energy production, and the oil production facilities which provide enough oil for about three per cent of Germany´s consumption always attract some attention. The wind also is rather dependable, which cyclists aren´t so happy about, so yesterday´s and tomorrow´s energy sources meet.
something I as a vegetarian feel entitled to complain about. I remember the title of a TV feature from some years ago which was Und ewig stinken die Felder ("Beyond Stink the Fields") which is a pun on the German title of Trygve Gulbranssen´s 1933 Novel Und ewig singen die Wälder (Originally Og bakom synger skogene, English "Beyond Sing the Woods"). The liquified outpourings of the millions of pigs and chicken have to go somewhere, so they are spread on the fields, indeed causing an olfactory challenge at times.
quite frequently on the way, with many farms having some sort of Disneyland appeal.
And, of course, there are war memorials dotting the landscape, a few of the about 100,000 in all of Germany. The Aschen memorial is unusual in a number of aspects. Firstly, it is large and extremely well looked after.
Also the resting lion is somewhat unusual to appear on a WWI war memorial; mostly there are martial symbols like praying soldiers, eagles or the like, but nearly always in poses of mourning or heroic defeat. Symbols of victory, like obelisks, soaring eagles or lions, were employed on memorials for the Franco-Prussian war of 1870/1. This makes me think this monument was erected even during WWI, when misguided so-called patriots were believing that the war could still be won, and that losses would be relatively light.
Also the typeface would have been considered oldfashioned in the twenties, and the space available on the memorial wasn´t sufficient to accomodate all the names of the perished. Whereas there are hardly any inscriptions of those killed or missing on the large monuments in towns or cities, smaller communities usually list the names of their dead, letting sadness emerge even after so many decades.
When all dams broke the neighbouring chapel on the cemetary received six lists of names, three for the Great War and three, visible here, for WWII.
After the two wars, there couldn´t have been too many men left.
BTW, an interesting book about the times when so many war memorials were erected is Der schwarze Obelisk ("The Black Obelisk") by Erich Maria Remarque, the protagonist of which works as a gravestone and memorial salesman. The book is set quite close to Aschen.
and have to turn off for another 40 km.
My son and myself were not in the mood for this, in fact not even for the 110 km. 75 was all we were prepared to ride that day, so we packed the Volvo and returned home.
Gefallenendenkmal is one of the German words for "war memorial", and it not only seems that Ebay sell genuine German do it yourself memorials ("Deutschland schraubt") and that they are cheaper than anywhere else, but that 153 people have followed the advice that "war memorials are bought at Ebay´s" and given feedback. Is there a word for this?
And the last bike I snapped in Neerkant. This is just wonderful and needs no explanations. It´s all a French Randonneuse from the classic period should be, although the chocolate colour isn´t my idea of attractive, and I´d have bought alloy cranks if it had been mine to choose in 1940-something, but there you go.
Here´s one more bike I was able to marvel at. Ever since I found what could easily be the remains of the oldest surviving motorpaced bicycle about 20 years ago (see my Allright post, use the search box in the top l/h corner of the screen) I have a soft spot for those weird machines. This one even has a documented race history – problem is, I forgot what it was.
Perhaps the machine´s owner could contact me and remind me. So many impressions in Neerkant, so little space on my built-in biological hard disk drive.
So just try to enjoy the photos as much as possible, despite my near complete lack of photographic prowess.
The chainwheel isn´t exactly what one would expect on the crank – and I doubt that this construction ever saw the track as it certainly wouldn´t have passed the scrupulous inspection by safety conscious technical marshalls taking place before many races.
Dürkopp hub (I think) laced up with tied and soldered spokes.
There we were, panting away on an ascend that would not feel wrong in a country more renowned for its hills than the Netherlands. OK, some of my panting stemmed from the fact that it was the first serious ride in the season, but the Holterberg hill was there, no question, all 59.5 meters above sea level of it.
It´s the Sallandse Heuvelrug (Salland range of hills) National Park which gives cyclists the pleasure of some moderate climbing in the Low Countries. It´s not big, but very nice, and even has a brand new visitors´ centre, including an observatory. The other attraction of the Park is the last Dutch grouse population. No, grouse do not wear red windbreakers.
Never having tried the ride before, I decided to this time, and even better, cycling friends Oscar Casander of Peugeotshow fame and Marten Gerritsen (m-gineering) also liked the idea. So we met at about eight in Holten, ´t Mossink gym, to get our passes and soon set off. At first there was one degree Centigrade below freezing, and not too many people had shown up.
It was, however, not to be misunderstood that this was the Netherlands.
As we set off I felt rather cold in the brass monkey weather, despite Oscar´s brisk pace. He had extracted his 1975 Peugeot PX 60 sportif from his stable, and what with all the improvements made over the years it has nearly reached PY status and is quite a fast bike. This is it, in its all French glory, c/w Berthoud front bag and various Mafac, Simplex and other goodies.
Something else I spotted at the start was a wonderful Koga Miyata Jubilee frame. Sadly the bike was parked in a fashion which kept me from taking more than a few detail shots, but it´s not hard to guess what a high quality frame this is. The crispness of the slender fleur de lys lugs is amazing.
And, of course, here are a few photos I took of Marten´s bike, one of the very few frames ridden by its builder, and one of the more beautiful ones, too. Marten says it was a try at an economy version, but it seems a very capable bike nevertheless, and looking at the fork crown detail it is great value.
Luckily there was not much wind. The winding roads, nearly devoid of motorized traffic, led us to the first control at about 50 km, and there were delicious Dutch cookies plus ice cold orange squash. The squash was hardly any warmer than the air surrounding it, and was pumped straight from a huge stainless tank on a massive trailer – there must have been hundreds of liters, but by then there was a sure sign that there were hundreds of riders, too: We never were alone on the road, fast men (and women) were overtaking all the time, and we actually overtook a few riders ourselves. It now says on the WVH website that the total number of riders actually approached the 1,000 figure. After a refreshing break we set off, the sun came through and suddenly the whole ride became even more enjoyable, to develop into one of the nicest I have ridden so far.
After 20 more kilometers there was another rest at a pub; however, there was no free food, but the passes were stamped, something that had to be omitted at the first control for want of the forgotten stamp. The general feeling was that a stamp doesn´t get you up the hills, whereas cookies do, and that Germans are known to carry their own stamps anyway, so everyone was fine. The pub at the second control is a typical Dutch affair, and also there was a rather nice Raleigh parked outside.
Medium quality, admittedly, but quite unmolested and kitted out with the most fascinatingly ugly speedo. Besides I love tall frames, riding something between 65 and 67 cm c/t myself.
The weather became even nicer and warmer as time approached noon, allowing us to shed some of our onion like layers of clothing. The landscape had its attractions, for instance cycling along the river Regge over a number of wooden bridges and passing some picturesque farms on the way. Rather unusual for the beginning of April – no leaves at all on the trees; a consequence of the coldest March since 1881, as I read in our local newspaper, and if anything the winter in the Netherlands was still colder than in our nick of the woods.
There are houses with thatched roofs everywhere in this part of the Netherlands; mostly farmsteads, of course, but you even find some in towns. If it weren´t for the cars, you sometimes could think you had been translated into the 19th century.
The organization was perfect, the route was signposted painstakingly with the help of little red and white signs, there were friendly faces everywhere, and there were even signs thanking riders for participating as a farewell after a wonderful ride.
So, in all, a thoroughly enjoyable 110 km for our little group.


This west coast DSWAC beginners workshop was completed in two days and included 35 feet of hands-on straight walling,a circular stone planter surround and a small dry stone arch (just for fun).
This workshop utilized a beautiful rounded stone, called Fantasy River Stone, which comes from a large stockpile of surface stones which originally were removed from the river beds of historic California "gold country" by Chinese workers. The stone is difficult to shape, but has some natural flatness which allows it to be used in a structural and aesthetically pleasing dry stone application. Very few stones were shaped in the teaching of this course. Appropriately, the stone is a local stone and can be purchased a slightly lower cost than imported stone.
Students gathered together and built this small dry stone arch at the last part of the workshop.
None of these arch stones were shaped or tooled. No form was used. The stones were chosen from a random pallet of stone made available by American Soil and Stone. The stones were fitted and held in place by everyone until the garden arch structure was completed and could stand on its own.


Martha and Irene were the 'baby sisters' of the GWWI 2011 Training! At 18 and 19 years old, they hail as the youngest participants to ever attend a GWWI training. But they are far from 'babies"! Their vibrant spirit, fresh perspective and youthful curiosity was only overshadowed by their incredible leadership! Martha and Irene came to us from Educate!, an award-winning organization that trains select high school students to participate in a 2 year program to become social entrepreneurs. This was an exciting collaboration forged by Echoing Green Social Entrepreneur Fellows Gemma Bulos, Director of Global Women's Water Initiative and Eric Glustrom, Executive Director of Educate! As part of Educate's program, youth work in collaboration with communities to help them identify their most urgent needs, and water has emerged as one of the priorities.
Enter GWWI and Martha and Irene! All of the GWWI participants, young and old were so impressed by Martha and Irene's inspiring public speaking savvy and their capacity to lead, despite their young age. Martha and Irene learned how to build various rainwater harvesting systems and were the first of the 15 teams to be able to implement their technology! Within 2 weeks of the GWWI Kampala training, they were on site in the village of Kagulu in northern Uganda. They were able to build a roof catchment and ISSB tank (interlocking stabilized soil block) at the Blessed Family School in 5 days as well as offer a community workshop on WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) education and introduce the Solar CooKits - making a solar cooker out of cardboard and reflective material for cooking and pasteurizing water.
In the following interview, Martha and Irene talk about their experience - what they learned, what they were able to do, and how the GWWI support team of Fellows and Trainers helped them to realize their goals!
"GWWI gave us a Support Team .... and these guys have been our heroes! They've helped us see things in a different perspective.... It has been one huge experience!
We hope you are as inspired as we are by these young "Water Champions"! The future of women and water is bright, thanks to these Martha and Irene!

But Lindsay and Salemme say that Feudale waived his judicial privilege by testifying in front of Krumenacker regarding grand jury leaks.
Even if McKean County Senior Judge John Cleland doesn't agree with that argument, Sandusky's attorneys have other reasons they say Feudale should not be left off the hook with their subpoena.
They also pointed toward questions of bias in Feudale's position as he presided over the case.
"In short, because judge Feudale has previously testified, the issues pertain to bias, and questions can be focused on factual issues, no judicial or deliberative process privilege attaches to him as a former judge," the lawyers wrote.
Sandusky has an evidentiary hearing scheduled for his petition over Aug. 12, 22 and 23.
He maintains his innocence in the case while serving a 30- to 60-year sentence at Greene state prison in Waynesburg.
Lindsay said repeatedly in arguments in front of Cleland on May 2 that he could not explain several points Cleland wanted clarified about potential testimony from multiple witnesses because of an order from Krumenacker.
Feudale, who became embroiled in controversy with Attorney General Kathleen Kane, was removed as a grand jury judge in 2013 and had his senior judge status revoked in 2015. Kane accused him of inappropriate behavior including bringing a knife into her office.
