Q: Request for feedback on python script to increase efficiency with cursors I'm new to python and would love some suggestions on improving the efficiency of my script.
Background:  My script is intended to create a report of the dominant and limiting soil types for agricultural fields.  The dominant soil is simply the soil type with the greatest area in a field.  The limiting soil is the soil type with greatest area, but whose name appears on the limiting soil list.  So, in some fields, the limiting soil may be the same as the dominant soil, while other fields may have no limiting soils at all.
The script needs to work for all the parcels owned by an individual landowner.  Each landowner may have multiple properties (called tracts—each tract has a unique ID number ), and each tract has multiple fields (numbered 1, 2, 3,… etc).   The parcel data for each landowner is stored in a single feature class.  It is important to be able to sort the final output by tract and field
Problem: The current script is slow!  I was able to figure out how to accomplish my intended goal, but the script runs very slowly.  I think it is because of my reliance on cursors and multiple if then loops.  Is there a more efficient or elegant way to do this?  It takes 15 to 20 min to work through some of our mid-sized landowners and I haven't dared to try it on our largest ones.
I am running Arc 10.0 and Pythonwin 2.6.5, so I cannot use DA cursors.  The main area of trouble is in the portion of code that builds the dictionaries (following "# loop through by tract").  I timed the script on a mid-sized (for this application) dataset that had 682 rows (9 tracts) and it took 00:14:16 to complete, 00:13:02 of which was in this portion of code.

        del irows
        del row

A: I thought I would take some of my comments and add another answer.  I haven't tested the answer, but I think it should work out alright.  The only thing I don't know is if arcpy will remove selected features after running the initial CalculateField or not.
import arcpy
import collections

# set environments
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
workspace = r"H:\pathway..."
arcpy.env.workspace = workspace

soil = #feature class of soil polygons
parcels = #feature class of land units
outputTableMaster = #emptyDbaseTable

#intersect soil polygons and parcel layer
inFeatures = [soil, parcels]
soilTable = #output featureclass from intersect
arcpy.Intersect_analysis(inFeatures, soilTable)

# create list of limiting soils
#limitingSoils = ['Au', 'Bg', 'Br', 'Ca', 'Cb', 'Ce', 'Co', 'Ru']

#here I am going to just create an expression using SQL and LIKE with the % wildcard
expression = ' "MUSYM" LIKE \'Au%\'  or "MUSYM" LIKE \'Bg%\'  or "MUSYM" LIKE \'Br%\'  or "MUSYM" LIKE \'Ca%\'  or "MUSYM" LIKE \'Cb%\'  or "MUSYM" LIKE \'Ce%\'  or "MUSYM" LIKE \'Co%\'  or "MUSYM" LIKE \'Ru%\'  '

#identify whether or not soil types found on property are limiting
arcpy.AddField_management(soilTable, "Limiting", "TEXT", "", "", 1)

#select ones to assign Y to
arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(soilTable, "NEW_SELECTION", expression)

#calculate field
arcpy.CalculateField_management(soilTable, "Limiting", "Y")

#switch selection and run again
arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(soilTable, "SWITCH_SELECTION")

#calculate field again
arcpy.CaculateField_management(soilTable, "Limiting", "N")

I have no idea if the SQL query will be faster/slower/the same as the other ways, but I am adding another option to the mix.  I suppose you could set up a bigger SQL query and run one operation.  I am not sure how to translate an UPDATE query into something ArcMap would be able to use though.
If you can post some timings from your experimenting, that would be pretty great for people with similar issues

A: I think a better approach in this case would be to use the calculate field method rather than building an update cursor. After you add the field, you do the following:
expression = 'is_suitable(!MUSYM!)'
codeblock = '''def is_suitable(soil_type):
    suitable_types = ['Au', 'Bg', 'Br', 'Ca', 'Cb', 'Ce', 'Co', 'Ru']

    if soil_type in suitable_types:
        return 'Y'
    return 'N'
    '''
arcpy.CalculateField_management(inTable, fieldName, expression, "PYTHON", codeblock)

That way you avoid the UpdateCursor yourself in different places, assuming you can't do the update in a single run.
As for the tractList. It would be better to use a set() in this case rather than a list. The collision lookup is O(1) then, rather than O(n). The way to do it would be:
srows = arcpy.SearchCursor(soilTable)
tracts = {row.getValue('TRACTNBR') for row in srows}
# Set comprehension - similar to the loop you created before

Use the same technique for the fields as well so you can have the two items to build your dictionary from.

Q: Is it possible to view previous API versions of Lightning Web Components developer guide documentation? At the time of this posting, the link to one of the more historical documentation pages or "Developer Guides" for Lightning Web Components is hosted at
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lwc.meta/lwc/lwc_intro.htm
There, you will see the familiar page layout for documentation, however for LWC the documentation exists at another location entirely. Again, at the time of this message those locations are:
Unauthenticated: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/documentation/lwc
Authenticated: [salesforce-instance]/docs/component-library/documentation/lwc
Pertaining to the "classic" developer guide page for LWC (the first link above), the links to the new documentation page do not change when selecting an API version. In my experience with aura components as well as Apex, new release API updates can and will inevitably break existing implementations. Referencing different API versions is often helpful when resolving these issues.
It does not make any sense to me why Lightning Web Components metadata files have a <apiVersion>XX.0</apiVersion> tag if the only apiVersion documentation viewable is the latest release.
How does the component api versions of LWC differ from aura lightning components, Apex, or other component source files?
If someone can provide insight into the what/why/how of the deviation from other developer documentation pages, I would greatly appreciate it!

A: I'm not sure when it happened, but the docs page for LWC was updated recently. Version-specific docs now appears in the left panel.

Retail Apocalypse Surges Into 2020: No End In Sight
Authored by Mac Slavo via SHTFplan.com,
The retail apocalypse was particularly bad in 2019, and only days into 2020, Macy's has announced it'll begin closing stores, following a trend in the industry. Macy's will close a minimum of 28 stores, and one Bloomingdale's as problems in retail continue.
With consumer spending so high, it's hard to imagine a reason for store closures.
"We regularly review our store portfolio and will provide an update at our Investor Day on February 5th," the company said in a statement sent to USA TODAY.
Clearance sales will begin this month and run for eight to 12 weeks, Macy's Media Relations Manager Julianne Bartosz said in an email to TCPalm.com, which is part of the USA TODAY Network, about the Macy's in the Indian River Mall in Vero Beach, Florida. Most other locations to be shuttered have not yet been disclosed. Officials also steered clear of an exact number of closings, say there would be a "minimum of 28 stores" permanently closed.
Among the government and Federal Reserve's insistence that consumers are spending money, Macy's reported a drop in holiday sales. Macy's November and December sales results Wednesday, which showed holiday sales did not meet the expectations. "Macy's, Inc.'s performance during the holiday season reflected a strong trend improvement from the third quarter," CEO Jeff Gennette said in a news release. "Additionally, customers responded to our gifting assortment and marketing strategy, particularly in the 10 days before Christmas."
In a statement sent to USA TODAY, Neil Saunders, the managing director of GlobalData Retail, said most of Macy's legacy stores "looked shabby and lacked festive cheer. In our view, they remain unfit for purpose and there is a big question mark over their long-term future."
Saunders called the decision to shutter underperforming locations "a foretaste of things to come if Macy's does not invest in and reinvigorate these outlets."

Wood Stove Popularity Fires Up As Heating Bills Rise
By DORCAS TAYLOR (Capital News Service)
Predictions about record-breaking heating costs this winter have sent customers running to retail stores with requests for wood stoves and inserts.
"It's almost like panic mode," said Rona Kelley, co-owner of Tri County Hearth and Patio Center in Waldorf.
Customers at Kelley's store have insisted on buying wood stoves despite her advice that the size of their fireplaces made them ill-equipped to handle the additions. She suggested gas logs, but the customers said no, they wanted wood.
This latest trend reverses that of recent years, when customers sought gas heat for its ease and efficiency. According to the Hearth, Patio and Barbeque Association, last year 498,124 fireplaces, wood stoves, and inserts were sold, a 1 percent drop from the previous year. In contrast, 2,094,341 gas appliances were sold last year, a 16 percent increase from 2003.
At Acme Stove Co. in Rockville, business "is hopping," said co-owner Mike Taylor, "or should I say hot?"
Wood stove prices at Acme range from $700 to $8,000 for a German-made stove, oven and storage model. The average customer spends about $4,500 on a stove, including installation, Taylor said.
The reemergence of wood burning is not just about staying warm, Taylor said.
"I think it's a matter of security," Taylor said, citing the frequency of power outages in the area and increased fuel prices.
In its most recent winter outlook, the Energy Information Administration said on average, households that use natural gas could face a 41 percent spike in winter heating bills. People using heating oil and propane likely would see their bills increase by 27 and 21 percent, respectively.
Weather will play a significant role in whether those numbers are higher or lower. The National Weather Service has said it cannot predict with any certainty what kind of winter the Northeast could experience.
Manufacturers are having difficulty meeting demand. On average, there is a six-to-eight-week wait for October orders to be filled, Taylor said.
In Waldorf, Kelley's sold appliances are tagged in her warehouse. She said the staff double checks what is unmarked before telling customers which products are available.
Kelley is frustrated and so are customers.
"We're sold out. I have so few product left to sell, and I have no product coming until December," she said. The installation crew is also booked for four weeks in advance.
Usually November and December are Kelley's busiest months, but this winter, she said, she began seeing customers Labor Day weekend. She said sales in September and October exceeded previous years' sales.
The same is true at Acme. Although Taylor wouldn't compare his profits to previous years, he said, "I expect it to get a lot busier before it slows down."

Since the company had been established in Rm.503, 1st Building , Wisdom Bay, Rd 6 Yunchuan,Baoshan District,City area,Shanghai,China, adhere to people-oriented ,and the quality of survival, to the credibility of development,our company have made an outstanding achievement.
2.The advantage of Meihong Machinerycasting ironis that it can provide more professional and thoughtful solutions timely and accurately according to the actual needs of customers.At the same time, Our company follow the latest developments on Industry and agriculture,Machinery and industry equipment,Casting processing, and establish long and steady partnership relation with many well-known enterprises in the same industry , to provide customers with the most professional, advanced casting partsx2fc7be7n.Details:The aluminum casting is a device device of pure aluminum or aluminum alloy obtained by a casting process. Generally, a sand mold or a metal mold is used to pour aluminum or aluminum alloy heated to a liquid state into a cavity, and the obtained aluminum parts or aluminum alloy parts of various shapes and sizes are generally referred to as aluminum die castings.Complex aluminum casting casting is a modern technology that uses high-pressure aluminum castings with electromagnetic pump low-pressure casting technology as its core, aluminum smelting and forming composite purification technology and manufacturing core technology. Electromagnetic pump low-pressure casting metal melt transfer system has a stable flow, flow control is convenient, mitigation process fused alumina back suction and easy to achieve the advantage of the use of process automation, which not only improves the casting quality of aluminum casting casting, but also It can also improve the working environment. Reduce labor intensity and achieve automated and modern casting production.An important component of purified molten enamel alloy castings is aluminum smelting and compound purification facilities in addition to gas injection and spin foam ceramic filters with high degassing, unless the performance of metal inclusions. In addition, it uses a new long-life lining material with a separate insulation/heating system for large-scale continuous production, as well as intermittent production. This technology has high efficiency, long life, low cost, easy to install, use and flexibility. Casting experience tells us to solve complex problems in the quality of aluminum castings in three main areas: (1) aluminum liquid smelting and melting, (2) smooth transition molten aluminum metal halide lamps (3) size and stable mold and Sand core process. Core manufacturing process modeling can have a direct impact on casting quality and yield. Casting porosity, sand sticking, scarring, thermal cracking and surface quality, dimensional accuracy, and the relationship between sand properties are very good. The new technology for modeling and manufacturing is the PEPSET core resin binder for the original zircon sand sand resin from hard sand, the difficult self-hardening sand mechanism for an independent, non-hardening chemical reaction. Initially, it is time to start hardening and curing. Once the reaction starts fast. So the coach bag, because in a small, hard, high-strength, fat gas collapse, has good performance is the complexity of the casting surface, ensuring dimensional accuracy of quality and stability.


Background: Self-defining memories (SDMs) are key memories that describe how a person has come to be the person they currently are. Key events in one's life, and the way that they are recalled can have a dramatic impact on sense of self, and this can contribute to depression. Therefore understanding SDMs and the processes that affect their recall is of important clinical value. This research extends Singer et al.'s (2007) research by examining OAs with depression.
Research questions: This study examined the characteristics of depressed and non-depressed OAs SDMs along the dimensions of content, affective valence, memory specificity and the ability to derive meaning from memories. Additionally, the study explored contributors to overgeneral memory by measuring cognitive avoidance and assessing metacognitive factors in meaning making ability.
Methods: A cross-sectional between groups study of 16 depressed and 19 non-depressed OAs. Participants completed the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, the Geriatric Depression Scale, the Metacognitions Questionnaire-30, the White Bear Suppression Inventory, the Self-defining Memory Task and the Self-defining Memory Rating Sheet. The groups were reasonably well matched on demographic variables except for education, gender and physical health problems.
Results: Depressed OAs recalled fewer specific memories than non-depressed OAs and were less able to derive meaning from their memories. However, when years of education was controlled for in a partial correlation, the correlations between depression scores, memory specificity and meaning making ability were no longer significant. Cognitive avoidance was not significantly correlated with memory specificity and metacognition was not significantly correlated with meaning making ability.
Conclusions: These results are broadly consistent with previous studies of overgeneral memory in individuals with depression. The results raise the possibility that years of education also contributed to the differences between the two groups and so potential interpretations of this finding are also presented. None of the psychological mechanisms investigated were significantly correlated with memory specificity or integrative meaning. Larger samples and demographically matched groups are required to conduct mediation analyses on factors influencing over general memory and meaning making ability in SDMs.
Keywords: Depression; self-defining memories; memory specificity; avoidance; and metacognition.

At the first campus 'hackathon', students are required to change education
Global problems, teaching staff dancing the Macarena to Drank & Drugs, and a man in a red suit to encourage creativity. They pulled out all the stops for the first 'hackathon' for education improvements.
Image credit: Marko de Haan
A new event for campus Woudestein: the very first hackathon was organised on campus last weekend. Around seventy students supported by coaches, a special IT desk and a man in a bright red suit tried to think up innovations in education.
Marko de Haan
"Where are the cables, where are the nerds?" Professor of Communication and Media Jeroen Jansz wonders when he addresses a room full of – still – fresh students. "For my job, I regularly attend hackathons, and I always trip over the cables," he laughs. It may be a hackathon, but the students aren't going to be hacking. They're changing the education system.
They've been given 36 hours, will mainly use their own experiences and question students on campus. Participants are going to think up an innovation for one of the three themes that have emerged from the university's new strategy plans: personal learning routes, co-creation in education, and the integration of global problems in education.
So it's not a classic hackathon, says organiser Mirjam van de Woerdt from the Community for Learning and Innovation (CLI). "It's more about life hacks. We want to impress on students that they can influence the education system. Their voice is important, and we want to demonstrate that here. Winning ideas will actually be implemented."
Neither time nor money has been spared. EUR's entire IT desk is present to resolve any technical problems that the students may encounter and answer any questions, all meals are provided, and students are given a fanny pack with a discount pass for all the sustainable restaurants in Rotterdam.
During the day and a half, the groups of students have to perform 'mini challenges' to win points. "The challenges are mainly intended to promote team building and to make the brain more flexible," says Van de Woerdt. So the participants are building towers with spaghetti and bacon pieces and making a K-pop video clip in which teaching staff dance the Macarena to Drank & Drugs by Ronnie Flex and Li'l Kleine. "This is going to get me fired," one of them laughs.
Are the students having problems with the creative process? To provide support, Vincent Everts – trend watcher, innovation expert and video blogger – has been specially hired. Sporting a red suit, he tries to stimulate creativity. "You're in a system that I'm sure must sometimes be irritating and frustrating for you. And the nice thing is: you only have to think up a plan. You can leave the implementation to other people!" Everts encourages the students.
In the sports café, students could even stay the night, although no one actually did. Two students laid out their air beds in the gym. "They left at 2 a.m. to explore the night life and returned at 6 a.m.," says Kevin from the sports café. The breakfast on Saturday morning remained untouched.
Bean seeds
On the last day, the students finalise their plan and embark on the last challenge: planting bean seeds in the wild to a deadline. "It's a fun and inspiring day," says first-year Business Administration student Jelrik Westra (18). Did she continue working into the early hours? "Not really. Everyone came over with an idea, because you already knew the theme. We'd finished at around 7.30 p.m."
Jelrik and his team took part in the global problem issue. "Our idea was to get each student to collect points via an app for their sustainability behaviour to make them aware of this theme. They can then cash in their points for a free coffee, for example."
Three winners
On the last day, the students pitch their ideas to a jury that has been specially convened for this event. The jury includes rector Rutger Engels, media professor Jeroen Jansz and a representative from the association of universities. One group won in each category, so the hackathon produces three winners.
The CLI will actually start work with their innovation. The spiritual parents of the idea may get involved, but it's not compulsory. "On Wednesday, all the winning ideas will be discussed, and then the winning students will be invited to a kick-off," explains organiser Van de Woerdt. "The winners will also be given a special WakaWaka power bank that works on solar energy."
The first winning group of students thought up the 'EUR Wallet', in which you can buy optional courses using tokens, for example. The second winning group invented a platform whereby students are involved in developing, implementing and giving feedback about education.
Global problem
The winning students in the global problem category wanted to get their counterparts more involved in society. "One of the ways they hope to achieve this is by getting the students to do social work," says Linda Szabo (21). Fellow team member Florence Schaatsbergen (21) adds: "Another way is to oblige them to do an 'impact course', which focuses on one global problem."
After 36 hours of life hacking, DJ Rinus provides the finale. To the uplifting beats of Jennifer Lopez, the students enjoy themselves in the warm sun. Another Hackathon is planned for next year. Rector Rutger Engels is enthusiastic: "We have so many events where there are ideas, but here something is actually going to be done with them. And that's brilliant."


Florida Tech now provides an online certificate program in Product Lifecycle Management. The course consists of 23 modules of the latest thinking on the concepts, principles, strategies, practices and applications of PLM.
Product lifecycle management (PLM) is an integrated, information-driven approach — one that comprises people, processes and practices, and technology — to all aspects of a product's life and its environment. PLM encompasses numerous disciplines including engineering, manufacturing, sales and marketing, supply chain, customer support and product maintenance and upgrades.
Product lifecycle management is a 21st-century approach to mitigating or eliminating these issues. PLM is an integrative, information-driven, product-centric approach that not only employs the latest enabling technology, but also redefines how people, their processes and their practices interact with products throughout the product's entire lifecycle.
PLM focuses not only on product development and manufacture, after which traditional manufacturers lose contact with their products, but also on retaining a connection throughout the product's life to provide feedback on actual product performance and quality and to create new revenue opportunities. Finally, PLM helps ensure responsible disposal at the end of the product's life.
What does the PLM certificate program cover?
PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT - PDP0636 Covers and emphasizes initiating projects in engineering and manufacturing at the beginning of the life cycle and its impact on the rest of the organization. Discusses frameworks to provide economic and value-based justifications for PLM projects and the pitfalls of an fragmented approach to PLM. Delivers the latest material on PLM and its impact on the organization. Consistsof 22 modules of the latest thinking on the concepts, principles, strategies, practices, and applications of PLM.

Ants Use Jaws To Jump Out Of Antlion Pit: VIDEO
Credit: Video screen grab via YouTube/Adrian Smith.
Not all ants are doomed after stumbling into the pit of the antlion. University of Illinois researchers discovered that some species of trap-jaw ants use their spring-loaded mandibles to hurl themselves out of the pit. This dramatic maneuver doubles the ants' survival rate when other escape methods fail, the researchers found.
Pit-building antlions have a two-part strategy for capturing prey. First, they dig conical pits in the sand and bury themselves at the bottom of the pit to wait for a victim.
"If an ant falls into the pit, it tries to run away, but the sand crumbles beneath its feet," said University of Illinois graduate student Fredrick Larabee, who conducted the study with entomology professor and animal biology department head Andrew Suarez. "This pulls it closer to the center of the pit where the antlion is waiting."
The antlion sometimes employs its second strategy: It hurls sand at the ant, causing a tiny avalanche that further destabilizes its target. If the ant tumbles to the bottom of the pit and the antlion grabs it with its mandibles, the ant is doomed.
However, one species of ant has physical characteristics that help it survive this deadly trap where other ant species often perish. The mandibles of the trap-jaw ant Odontomachus brunneus can whip shut at speeds over 40 meters per second (144 kilometers per hour), instantaneously maiming a prey insect or enemy ant. They also are used for more routine tasks, such as digging nests or tending to eggs and larvae.
Previous studies have reported that trap-jaw ants sometimes jump with their jaws, "but it was unknown whether this behavior was meant to help them get away from a predator, and it wasn't clear that it actually improved their odds of surviving an encounter with a predator," said Larabee.
The new study verifies that the mandibles do in fact aid the ants' survival by allowing them to eject themselves from a dangerous predicament.
Larabee dropped trap-jaw ants into antlion pits in the lab to see if, and how often, the ants used the jaw-jumping maneuver to escape from an actual predator. The ants usually tried to run out of the pit, and sometimes were successful. If that strategy failed, they sometimes jumped with their jaws.
"The ants were able to jump out of the pits about 15 percent of the time in their encounters with antlions," Larabee said. "But when we glued their mandibles shut before dropping them in the pits, they couldn't jump at all. It cut their survival rate in half."
The study shows how a trait or capability that evolved for one purpose can be adapted for different uses, Larabee said.
"In this case, a tool that is very good for capturing fast or dangerous prey also is good for another function, which is escape," he said.
The National Geographic Society Committee for Research and Exploration, the National Science Foundation and the American Museum of Natural History supported the research.

India and Israel, located in different parts of the globe, share similar concerns about global developments and about threats that originate in the Middle East.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits India just half a year after the first historic trip of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Israel (July 2017). These visits reflect the significant expansion in relations between the two countries that has taken place since the establishment of full diplomatic relations in 1992.

1988 1 oz Silver American Eagle Coins
Please be aware that because these coins are several years old, they may have blemishes and/or imperfections and we cannot not guarantee their exact condition.
The 1988 1 oz Silver American Eagle is the third coin in the silver bullion series which was introduced in 1986. Like all other coins in the series, each 1988 Silver American Eagle weighs one troy ounce, contains .999 fine silver and has a legal tender value of $1 USD. The particular coins being offered in this collection are in unciruclated condition. There were 5,562,016, 1988 1 oz. Silver American Eagle coins produced originally.
Contains 1 oz of .999 pure silver.
Minted by the United States Mint
Carries a $1 face value backed by the US government.
Individual coins ship in plastic sleeves, multiples of 20 ship in mint-sealed tubes and multiples of 500 ship in monster boxes.
Since 1782, the bald eagle has served as the national emblem of the United States of America. Admired for its longevity, strength, and majesty, this bird of prey quickly became a popular symbol for the fledgling nation. More than 100 years later, the eagle was joined in American lore by the Statue of Liberty. Lady Liberty held a light aloft above her head, acting as a beacon for the oppressed peoples of the world as they sought a new beginning in a new world. Today, these images are forever remembered on the Silver American Eagle coin series.
The very first Silver American Eagles were minted just two years prior to 1988. The US Mint produced the first Silver American Eagle coins in 1986 at the San Francisco Mint. The coins were minted in an effort to offset the federal government deficit by producing commemorative silver bullion coins that could be sold to the public. The US Mint secured the silver used in these coins from the Defense National Stockpile, and began minting the coins at three of its facilities: the San Francisco Mint, Philadelphia Mint, and West Point Mint.
Two images are featured on each side of the 1988 1 oz. Silver American Eagle. On one side is Adolph A. Weinman's "Walking Liberty." This interpretation of Lady Liberty was first developed in 1916, and features Lady Liberty walking west toward the setting sun. Above her head is the word "Liberty," and at her feet the phrase "In God We Trust." On the coin's reverse is John Mercanti's heraldic bald eagle. Set behind a heraldic shield, the bald eagle clasps an olive branch in its right talon and arrows in its left talon. Above its head are 13 stars representing America's 13 original colonies. Mercanti's design was crafted in 1986, specifically for use on this coin series.

Hi, I'm a 5th grade student at Montessori and in this project I am going to talk about dressage. I ride horses in Fort Calhoun and I am learning to ride Western and English horses. I have rode now for about eighteen months and I love being around the big and intelligent animals. I hope that after you read my blog about dressage you will start to like these beautiful animals.
Dressage is a competition in which horses perform special movements in response to signals from their riders. Both horse and rider are expected to perform a series of movements, specific gaits (walk, trot and canter) and they are judged on how well they do it.
There are a few kinds of dressage like Hunt Seat dressage and Jumping dressage. Hunt Seat is like in the middle of saddle seat (American Saddlebreds) and western riding with American quarter horses. Hunt Seat dressage is where you and your horse perform jumping in two point jockey position (above) and stay in the position the whole time without tiring. Jumping dressage is where your horse has to know the order of the jumps so the rider has can focus the most on keeping heels down to stay in the saddle, to control the horse and learn to keep in contact so the rider doesn't fall off.
Some people consider dressage as horse ballet because the horse and the rider move so gracefully together like a ballerina.
I really like horses, and would like to keep learning about them and keep giving my knowledge to the world.

Minsara Kanavu Cast
AVM Productions wanted to make a film to commemorate its 50th anniversary in 1997 and signed on Prabhu Deva to play a lead role and A. R. Rahman to score the music for this unplanned project, but Rahman was initially reluctant as he had scored music for three of Prabhu Deva's films in the recent past. The producers revealed that they were looking for a new director and Rahman suggested the name of cinematographer, Rajiv Menon to make his directorial debut, after the pair had previously collaborated in jingles for many ad films. Menon thought about the offer for two months and was ultimately convinced by Rahman and Mani Ratnam, who he had been working with in Bombay (1995), to sign the project. Arvind Swamy was then signed up for a role as was Hindi actress Kajol, to make her debut in Tamil films. Kajol revealed that she found dancing alongside Prabhu Deva difficult and took up to 20 retakes and 30 rehearsals for a particular song. Nassar, often seen in intense roles, was signed to play a bubbly character in the film and described the shoot as a "delightful experience". Veteran actors Girish Karnad and V. K. Ramasamy were also added to the cast as was singer S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, who had previously appeared in father roles in Kaadhalan and Kadhal Desam. Actress Arundhati Nag and Prakash Raj also formed part of the cast, while then-assistant director Gautham Menon appears in a cameo role.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Dozens of U.S. Park Police officers in riot gear and on horseback converged before dawn Saturday on one of the nation's last remaining Occupy sites, with police clearing away tents they said were banned under park rules.
At least seven people were arrested. Officials said it was relatively peaceful but got tense late in the day when an officer was struck in the face with a brick as police pushed protesters out of the last section of the park. The officer was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Protesters held a general assembly Saturday evening and vowed to continue the movement. One of the speakers acknowledged the injured officer and urged everyone to practice nonviolence.
Police insisted they were not evicting the protesters. Those whose tents conformed to regulations were allowed to stay, and protesters can stay 24 hours a day as long as they don't camp there with blankets or other bedding. Police threatened to seize tents that broke the rules and arrest the owners.
The police used barricades to cordon off sections of McPherson Square, a park under federal jurisdiction near the White House, and checked tents for mattresses and sleeping bags and sifted through piles of garbage and other belongings. Some wore yellow biohazard suits to guard against diseases identified at the site in recent weeks. Officials also have raised concerns about a rat infestation.
Eventually most of the protesters had been pushed into the surrounding streets, which were closed to traffic.
By Saturday afternoon, seven were arrested, including four who refused to move from beneath a statue and three who crossed a police line.
Despite what police said, some protesters said the crackdown amounted to eviction.
"This is a slow, media-friendly eviction," protester Melissa Byrne said. "We're on federal property, so they have to make it look good."
The officers poured into McPherson Square just before 6 a.m., some on horseback and others wearing routine riot gear. As a helicopter hovered overhead, they shut down surrounding streets and formed neat, uniform lines inside the park.
The police initially turned their focus to dragging out wood, metal and other items stored beneath a massive blue tarp — which protesters call the "Tent of Dreams" — that had been draped around a statue of Maj. Gen. James McPherson, a Union general in the Civil War. Protesters agreed to remove the tent.
Later, in a lighter moment, Park Police used a cherry-picker to remove a mask of 17th-century English revolutionary Guy Fawkes that had been placed on the statue.
Jeff Light, a lawyer who represents a couple of Occupy protesters and who was at McPherson Square, said he expected to challenge the police actions in court. He said he was frustrated because a lawyer for the government had said there were no plans to seize tents that complied with the regulations.
"Here they are," Light said, "doing something different than what they said in court."
The Washington demonstration is among the last remaining Occupy sites, enjoying First Amendment protections by virtue of its location on federal park service property.
Similar to the New York protesters, who strategically occupied a park near Wall Street to highlight their campaign against economic inequalities, the District of Columbia group selected a space along Washington's K Street. The street is home to some of the nation's most powerful lobbying firms.

It's a two bedroom, one bathroom, full kitchen, and full bathroom tiny house with tub/shower, composting toilet, double hung closet, and even a washer/dryer combo.
It's 13'8″ tall, 8′ wide, and weighs about 8,000 lbs. The trailer was refurbished from a 1986 travel trailer.
This place has an insanely tall loft!!!
It's not built with $200/sheet exotic plywood, doesn't have ultra-modern inductive cooktops, nor an internet-connected refrigerator that tells you what to make for dinner.
What it does have is livability. And that's no small thing.

The Hantangang Dam is a gravity dam on the Hantan River in Yeoncheon County, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. Construction on the dam began in 2007 and completed in 2015. The primary purpose of the dam is flood control : it was proposed in 1998 after a series of floods in the late 1990s that killed 128 people, displaced over 31,000 and caused about US$900 million in property damage. Initially designed as a multi-purpose project, the design was changed solely to flood control in 2006 due to the concerns of residents upstream. It is being implemented by Korea Water Resources Corporation (K-water).

Construction
Construction started in February 2007 and completed in mid-2015. K-water is responsible for planning and supervision. DL E&C (Daelim industrial.co. Ltd) was undertook the construction as a leading contractor. Not only to secure the stability against overflow during the flood season but also to reduce the construction cost through the mechanized construction fitting for the mega construction, the roller-compacted concrete (RCC) method has been applied. About 300 families will be displaced when the reservoir is filled.

This project also had a road project for the purpose of relocation of existing roads in Pocheon and Cheorwon areas that are submerged by the Hantangang Dam's new flood water level. Relocation of roads project consists of a total of 27 km length and includes 11 large and small bridges within the roads. The newly relocated roads were built the flood water level high (EL.144m) along the National Route 87, Local Route 78, City Route 23, etc.

Design
The Hantangang Dam will be a  and  long gravity dam constructed of roller-compacted concrete. It has four spillways; a service, emergency, lower sediment discharge and eco-corridor. All four together will have a maximum discharge of . The water storage capacity for the reservoir is .

NEW private home sales in July rallied in spite of tightened community measures in the second half of the month. Riding the pent-up demand wave, developers also enjoyed ripple effects from the launch of Pasir Ris 8.
Based on caveats lodged, analysts estimated that developers in Singapore sold 1,545 new private homes in July, jumping 77.2 per cent from June's 872.
Mark Yip, chief executive officer of Huttons Asia, noted that this is the second highest monthly sale in 2021 so far, just 5.4 per cent behind that of January. He also highlighted that January had two major launches, compared to one in July.
With a median price of S$1,624 per square foot (psf), the month's sole major launch, Pasir Ris 8, made up 27 per cent of July's total new home sales. It was also the best-selling project for the month.
"The successful launch of Pasir Ris 8 has a galvanising effect on other integrated projects and projects in the vicinity," said Mr Yip.
Nicholas Mak, head of research and consultancy at ERA, added that the project's price increases later in the month turned buyers towards other developments in search of more affordable alternatives.
"After the price increase in Pasir Ris 8, the sales in Normanton Park, Midwood, Sengkang Grand Residences and Ki Residences increased significantly on a basis of units sold per day," he said.
For example, Mr Mak noted that Sengkang Grand Residences sold 31 units between July 1 to July 23. However, the integrated development sold 58 homes in the remaining eight days of the month after Pasir Ris 8 raised its prices on July 24.
"This shows that some homebuyers are price sensitive and would substitute a project at one location for another project at another location, especially if they are investors," said Mr Mak.
He also told BT that the rising prices could lead to a "fear of missing out" (FOMO) among purchasers.
Christine Sun, senior vice-president of research and analytics at OrangeTee & Tie, added: "Sales picked up across many projects last month as buyers returned to the private residential market in droves. Some rushed to buy units for fear of being priced out of the market as prices seemed to have bottomed out, and Singapore's economy is poised for further recovery in the coming months."
During the month, Normanton Park sold 124 units at a median price of S$1,824, making it a distant second among the month's top selling projects. Midwood came in third with 91 units sold at a median price of S$1,656.
Comparing year on year, the estimates are 42.7 per cent higher than the 1,083 new private homes sold in July 2020.
Including executive condominiums (ECs), which are public-private housing hybrids, the tally reached 1,700 units, up 76.7 per cent from sales in the previous month and 48.5 per cent from that of July last year.
Mr Yip said: "In the first seven months of 2021, developers have sold an estimated 8,004 units. Despite the lunar seventh month in August, developers are likely to push ahead with their launch to ride on the positive momentum. Barring unforeseen circumstances, new sales could possibly hit a high of 12,000 units in 2021."
In terms of price, homes in the S$1-1.5 million range led the month by making up 39 per cent of transactions, excluding ECs. Some 28.9 per cent of homes cost S$1.5-2 million, while 17.5 per cent of transactions were for new homes in the S$2-3 million bracket.
The outside central region continued to lead new home sales, excluding ECs, in July.
Including Pasir Ris 8, the section made up 65.2 per cent of last month's sales.
Meanwhile, the rest of central region and core central region accounted for 25.8 per cent and 9 per cent respectively, data from OrangeTee & Tie showed.

In today's digitally enhanced world, the overall customer experience represents a key component of modern retail industry success. Despite the many benefits of increased technology, store owners and operators commonly express concern about effectively engaging customers on their cellular devices without sacrificing security or ease of access.
As a retailer, you likely struggle with how to deliver digital incentives to your customers while maximizing business operations. In-store connectivity solutions include both enhanced cellular signal and Wi-Fi but which option provides the security, reliability and value for your business and your customers?
Let's look at how cellular and Wi-Fi stack up in a retail setting.
Engaging customers with digital app-based coupons is an increasingly common retail revenue-boosting tactic. Daily deals delivered to your customers on their phones improves the retail experience, promotes sales, increases efficiency and cuts down on the waste and frustration of easily disposable – and frequently misplaced – paper mailers and punch cards.
Target's Cartwheel app represents a compelling example of the growing digital retail landscape. Cartwheel shoppers spend 30% more per trip to the store, according to Target's internal data. Additionally, of the 100,000 hours shoppers spent browsing and shopping Target via mobile devices in March 2014, Cartwheel accounted for 76% of the traffic.
While cellular data connections and Wi-Fi signals both create the in-store connectivity required to access digital apps and coupons, a reliable cellular coverage prevents the often annoying additional steps of a Wi-Fi connection.
ept the terms and conditions of your service. Certain settings could require customers to take action every time they enter the store and many may not find the effort practical for a savings of $1 or $2.
With a strong cellular signal, however, customers need only use their network's data plan, requiring no additional steps and providing quick and easy access to apps and digital incentives. This efficient connection also allows customers to use their phones to read reviews, check prices and inventory, or call friends for buying advice. For these reasons, an in-store cellular connection often yields a higher success rate with customers than Wi-Fi, due to easier access and reliability.
Providing customers in-store Wi-Fi access can also create security concerns, especially in retail settings without designated employee and customer networks or proper firewalls. These unsecured in-store Wi-Fi networks can expose your business to spyware and viruses, compromise valuable customer and company data, and risk financial loss and damaged reputation.
A reliable in-store cellular connection, on the other hand, provides a reliable connection and positive in-store experience without putting important customer, employee and company data at risk.
Strong cellular connectivity can also help your business enhance its point of sale (POS). Many businesses connect their POS to the internet but others using tablets connect via a cellular connection and require reliable connectivity to maintain efficient operations.
Even if your business uses Wi-Fi connectivity for POS, a cellular signal booster system can ensure reliable connectivity for a cellular failover solution in the event your internet connection is lost.
Deploying a cellular signal booster, or passive distributed antenna system, can enhance customer engagement, increase security and improve point-of-sale operations without security concerns or ongoing maintenance. These flexible, carrier-agnostic solutions eliminate cellular connectivity problems by capturing and amplifying the existing cellular signal. Ideal for large buildings, commercial spaces and retail locations, these carrier-agnostic solutions increase signal power up to 32 times.

The BBB Wise Giving Alliance (WGA) is an American charity monitoring organization. Under previous names, it has been reporting on nationally-soliciting charities since the 1920s. BBB's Give.org evaluates charities, at no charge, using the 20 BBB Standards for Charity Accountability to help donors verify the trustworthiness of soliciting organizations and to strengthen charity practices. Resulting reports are freely accessible to the public at Give.org. These standards were developed with the help of the charitable community.

Standards for Charity Accountability
In 2003, the WGA adopted a set of twenty "Standards for Charity Accountability". These standards replaced earlier versions by the PAS and the NCIB.  The WGA developed these standards in conjunction with the Better Business Bureau, professional accounting organizations, charitable organizations, and foundations that fund grants.

The WGA explains that these standards were developed "to assist donors in making sound giving decisions and to foster public confidence in charitable organizations. The standards seek to encourage fair and honest solicitation practices, to promote ethical conduct by charitable organizations and to advance support of philanthropy."

The standards set a baseline for ethical governance, responsible fundraising, and transparency of financial operations.

Adherence to the Standards for Charity Accountability is voluntary; no charity is legally bound to submit documentation of its operations to the WGA.  The absence of documentation, or the absence of a charity's inclusion in the BBB reporting system, may not necessarily indicate negative or unlawful behavior on the part of the charity.

Evaluated charities

A listing of charitable organizations currently evaluated by the WGA is available on its website.

Criticism

USA Today reported that the WGA's charity seal program had come under fire. The WGA licenses its seal to charities that meet its 20 standards of accountability at rates from $1,000 to $15,000 annually. This income provides 67 percent of the WGA's budget.

U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal said that this financial relationship raises questions about "credibility and possible conflicts of interest." The American Institute of Philanthropy, another charity rater, criticized the WGA for taking money from the same charities it was rating. The WGA replied that there is "a strict separation between the people who do the accreditations and the ones who work on the seal programs."

Q: Add background-image to  in PDF (ABCpdf) I'm dynamically creating a PDF using ABCpdf (HTML -> PDF)
I'm trying to create a Table Of Contents (with leaders), and I think the easiest way to get the leaders is using a repeat-x background-image.  Here is my file structure:
/Web
   GenReport.aspx
   /images
      tocback.gif
/Data
   template.html
GenReport uses an html template, and replaces all applicable sections when generating the pdf.  The styles also live in template.html.
Everything is working, except that the image isn't being found (If I use a direct path to another image on the web, I can get the image to appear in the background of the table.)
So, my question is, how do I reference the tocback.gif?  Does it need to reference the path from the template (/Data/template.html - see (1) below) or from the page that generates the pdf (/Web/GenReport.aspx (2) below)?
(1) background-image: url(/images/tocback.gif);
(2) background-image: url(../Web/images/tocback.gif);
Obviously, neither of these are working for me.  Am I missing something?
(I wouldn't even mind adding a hard-coded reference to an image on the FS, if that is an option.)

A: I found the answer in the manual
http://www.websupergoo.com/support.htm (6.17)

A: You can't get that image rendered into the pdf. Add a new page, render your html into that page.pass that page url to AddImageUrl() method to generate pdf successfully.
find sample code for this in abcpdf helpline.
cheers
