The body of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster was exhumed to be moved to its final resting place in a monastery chapel, four years after her death in 2019.
When the coffin was opened, inmates of the monastery were stunned to find that Lancaster’s body was intact with almost no signs of decay, despite the fact that the body was buried in a cracked wooden coffin that exposed her corpse to moisture and debris.

After hearing from many people who were interested in my #QGIS and #Python courses, but could not afford the online instructor-led classes - I have made all 6 courses available for free for self-study. Full material and data packages are at courses.spatialthoughts.com/

For over 20 years, QGIS has been able to access computer folders through the Browser 🧐
In ArcGIS, for ArcCatalog it was necessary to use Connect to Folder to search and map a (single) folder
Now in ArcGIS Pro 3.1 you can do it like in #QGIS 😎
Free yourself! Use QGIS 😏🤓

with this, you can now get distance and time of travel between multiple points from an excel - e.g. pharmacy to nearest facility; project sites to home office; osm households to isolation/testing centres; blah blah blah #accessibility

GeoPandas 0.8.0 has arrived!
It's a big one: more IO (PostGIS, Parquet, Feather), optional speed-up using PyGEOS, better support for multiple geometry columns, and lots of other fixes and improvements.
Thanks to all contributors for making this possible!

Just concluded a 3-month long survey on common perceptions about Covid in 3 communities in Kenya. Interestingly - the trump effect is very visible e.g. "Chinese virus". Others are: its killed by alcohol, sun heat, etc
