Amicitia was a European cultural heritage project. It involved digitizing the video and an intranet application that would enable European broadcasters to peak in eachothers archives. But I had nothing to do with that. I worked on work package 8, a.k.a. the Amicitia Public Web Access site.
In Amicitia PWA the users can do a multilingual search in the news archives of the broadcasters. The search results are displayed visually in the object space, and users can play the video and read the metadata. Next to this users can create collections of the videos (or portions of a video) and store them to the webserver. Furthermore users could edit new movies by cutting and ordering clips in a storyline.
This time I got initiated in the miracles of XML, XSLT, XPath and the XML database eXist. I also got to play with streaming video and SMIL. Because of a lack of time and human resources I decided to do make the web client with Macromedia Director, so I learned some lingo as well!
The ideas of the User Collection and Story Lines come from the DataCloud project. For the Amicitia project it might have been enough to have the multilingual search, metadata lookup and, ofcourse, playing a video. We wanted to give the user some more tools though. Tools that would enable users to participate and collaborate. The broadcaster were worried about copyrights, so we proposed a solution that would use streaming video. (at the time there wasn't any 'save stream to disk' button). ANne came up with the idea of an online video editor, which I think added a whole extra dimension to the application.
The Object Space idea comes also from DataCloud, but was implemented in a very different way. (Strangely enough it looks more like a cloud than the DataCloud...) First of all it is a 2D space. Since this project was less experimental than DataCloud we wanted to play it slightly more safe. Also 2D seemed to make more sense for visualizing the 2D media that video really is. The organization of the video items is approached in a different way as well.
After thinking a lot about how to visualize something that can grow forever (a database) I ended up with spirals. By looking into spirals I came across plant growth and the phyllotaxis pattern. This pattern can be seen for example in the way the seeds of a sunflower are arranged. A perfect way to equally spatialize 'seeds', no matter if there are 4 seeds or 2000. Nothing beats nature, and it looks beautiful as well! In DataCloud 2.0 the mapping of the objects was correct, but visually not very pleasing, and hard to navigate too. There is a lot of discussion about esthetics getting in the way of functionality, but in my opinion beauty is also functional, because it encourages the user to use the application. So with help from Artm for the math we developed the phyllotaxis algorithm. Later this algorithm was used again for a screensaver and a credits movie.
Though I take special pride in the Story Lines and the Object Space I think the best thing about Amicitia PWA is the way all the different features are integrated. Users can drag and drop the clips from the object space to the player, the story line, the user collection etc. Besides Lenno (design), a lot of credits for this should go to Enric (interaction design/client programming) and Remco (intern).
The Amicitia Public Web Access Site got a "special remark" from the European Commision.

Prince Hussain officially inaugurated his exhibition of marine photography last month at the historic Town Jamatkhana in Nairobi.
The collection of some 100 photographs of oceanic ecosystems in various parts of the world depicts the beauty, fragility and diversity of marine life, and brings to attention the necessity and urgency to protect, conserve and manage our oceanic heritage and resources.
Prince Hussain accompanied Chief Guest Mr Keriako Tobiko, Kenyan Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Environment and Forestry for a special viewing of the exhibition.
In his remarks, Cabinet Secretary Keriako noted that Kenya has 500 kilometres of coastline that is vital to the country's ecosystem. "Marine ecosystems are an important life-support system for our country as they contribute to tourism, community livelihoods, fishing, and transport, which help to sustain our economy."
He underscored the many initiatives the Kenyan government has undertaken to support healthy marine ecosystems and emphasised the need for each of us "to go to the most humanly possible depths in our conservation efforts... so that future generations can witness the images in the (Fragile Beauty) photographs first-hand."
He further commended Prince Hussain for "a true display of exceptional passion for marine ecosystems" and for using photography to inform and educate audiences about the diversity that exists in our seas and oceans.
In welcoming diplomats and senior government officials, Dr Azim Lakhani, Diplomatic Representative, Aga Khan Development Network in Kenya, spoke about how AKDN and the Ismaili Community have contributed to Kenya's development, noting that the venue – the 97 year-old Town Jamatkhana (referred to locally as Khoja Mosque), has been a demonstration of their longstanding and permanent presence in the country.
He also spoke about the importance of the photography exhibition itself. "The photographs … underscore the importance of environmental conservation, making people aware of the beauty that exists under our seas and what we could forever lose if we do not protect and conserve our oceans," he said.
Sabeeha Charania, a member of the Kenyan Jamat, shared her thoughts after viewing the exhibition: "Prince Hussain's work is exhibited in a very artistic manner, combining the vivid hues and vibrant beauty of marine life to weave in a beautiful story of marine life's diversity and fragility."
Wendy Waweru, an invited guest at an event open to members of the media and dignitaries, spoke of what she learned from the exhibition.
"The exhibition proved very enlightening on marine life; there is so much to learn about their way of life. The most fascinating element to me was the symbiotic behaviour and relationships of marine life," Waheru said. "There are so many untold marine life stories that need to be highlighted. And arts presents a great way to champion such environmental causes — not only is it visually captivating but you learn a lot too."
While in Nairobi, Prince Hussain together with his fiancée Miss Elizabeth Hoag, also visited a number of AKDN projects including the Aga Khan High School, the Aga Khan University Hospital, Frigoken, Kenya's largest vegetable processor, and Serena properties.

I have loved the Lord of the Rings books and movies for years, and so we decided to add a hint of that genre to our wedding by having our five nephews come down the aisle as the "Fellowship of the Rings." They all received flowy elvish cloaks and ring bearer pillows.
First I researched cloth that flowed like the capes in the Lord of the Rings movies; I decided on a rich green color of crushed velvet that would go well with the bridesmaids' blue dresses. I found the cloth in the costume cloth section in Joanne Fabrics. I had to research about what to do for the elvish leaf pin that holds the cloak together at the throat, and Etsy was the place to find a kid-friendly option.
On Etsy, at an embroidery shop, I found patches that I could sew on to the cloaks and so that were would not be any sharp pins to deal with. (Check out the Etsy shop here: Elvish Leaf Patches).
I drew some sketches based off looking at cloak pictures on Etsy, and I figured out to have a full cape, I would cut the cloth into a big circle, cut one side in and cut the head hole out of the middle. I made long hoods, and that took some adjustments, but I just had to make them large and floppy.
A month or two before the wedding (so that I would know the kids' approximate heights) I cut the cloth, sewed up a demo, and had my nephews try them out, with the help of their moms. I adjusted the neck sizes, and then started production of five capes! I used ties and Velcro to close them, with the Elvish leaf sewed on top.
The boys did not wear the cloaks for very long, but having them wear them made me so happy! My sister-in-law had to bribe my nephew to keep it on, but he did. The one-year-olds were fine wearing them.
So on my wedding day, my brother was about to walk me down the aisle, Stephen's brother walked his three little elves down aisle, and then my sister followed my two nephews down—and they both took off sprinting down the aisle! My nerves were calm, and seeing those little boys tearing down the aisle in their green capes made any last traces of nervousness leave. Then I floated down the aisle and married my best friend.
Our photographer, Ryn Manby (these images are from Ryn Manby Photography) caught some wonderful images our Fellowship of the Rings!
Seeing these photos just makes me smile. Enjoy!

Q: Get EXE file output using another EXE file I have EXE file that connect to server and get server output message (int) and this EXE file works fine and return the server message.
What i want to do now is to execute the EXE file from another EXE file  so i created now console application project and running this EXE from this project:
    Process p = new Process();
    p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
    p.StartInfo.FileName = "file.exe";
    p.StartInfo.Arguments = "arg";
    p.Start();
    string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
    p.WaitForExit();

But from some reason the output is always empty.
Edit:
I have change my EXE and instead of return my int, now i print it to console application and now from the other EXE i can catch the output but still when running this EXE how can i catch this output not from visual studio but from command line ?

Q: How to Host Laravel-Mix applciation in BigRock? I am building one application with Laravel as back-end and React.js as front-end. How to host the application in BigRock or GoDaddy? I searched for 2 days, and found nothing related. Please HELP!!

A: Laravel application hosting don't need something special... just take care of these things.

*

*php version as per the desired laravel version.

*composer should be installed on server.

*Some pre-dependancies check here... https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/installation

*Your domain should point to <application_root>/public folder.

*If you are using mix make sure node should be installed.

After that..
Just clone / upload the code on server and run the desired commands like..
composer install & npm install to install the laravel dependancies & node dependancies.
As per your case you are going to host two application here. So you can follow the following approach.
Host laravel application as sub-domain like api.domain.com and react application on main domain.
I hope you are already fimilar with what's required for hosting react application.
Edited:
For the shared hosting, you can request to enabled the shell access from hosting provider support team. Once they enabled, you'll able to run the linux command and do install by yourself.
Sometimes they could install required software for you.
All the best!


I remember walking down the path and seeing this tree stump. It caught my attention. The shape, the coloring against the green foliage, something about this old tree fascinated me.
No longer a symbol of strength, but a symbol of what once was.
Yet still a symbol of nature, conservation, and the hope of saving the environment.
