Is e-mail signature possible in SAP Cloud for Customer?
Oct 19, 2018 at 05:44 PM | 239 Views | Last edit Oct 20, 2018 at 12:25 PM 2 rev.
We're implementing SAP Cloud for Customer for one of our clients. We have done Microsoft Outlook integration and our business users want to use their e-mail signatures while they're sending out e-mails to accounts in SAP Cloud for Customer.
As per my understanding and, also as per C4C Services guide 1808, this is not possible (yet!).
As Alejandro has mentioned, this is currently not possible yet at this time.
Is that sill not possible?
I have been looking at 1811 improvements and my previous answer is now obsolete ;) as signature corporate/personal has now been introduced into Email editor. The signature can be defined in the template workcenter. However, it is still pending the feature that will automatically add the signature, currently this needs to be added manually by clicking on the pen icon (Select Signature). At this point, this feature just speeds up a bit agent work as they do not need to be copy/pasting their signature but still some more space to be improved as we can't still add it automatically.
Anyway, hope this helps you.


Our new line-up of Quadro GPUs – the K5200, K4200, K2200 and K620 – will be on display in Europe for the first time at the IBC conference in Amsterdam, Sept. 12-16. And they're arriving just in time.
That's because media professionals are working with a new generation of cameras. Offering higher resolution and more flexibility, this new gear is amazing stuff.
But with better resolution comes the need for more processing power. To work with raw camera footage and retain the highest quality throughout the workflow, it's necessary to process, or debayer, the files. That already requires a lot of horsepower. Upping the resolution from HD to 4K or even 6K makes the challenge even greater.
Increasing the pixels more than 9x over HD demands all the horsepower and memory you can get. While that used to require specialized hardware, today you can add a new NVIDIA Quadro K5200 and you're ready to go.
5 NVIDIA VCAs used to render a raytraced image of NVIDIA Shield using Autodesk Maya and Iray for Maya in mere seconds.
With up to twice the application performance and data-handling capacity, and larger GPU memory, the next-gen Quadro series is at the center of modern workflows.
GPU final-frame rendering with Chaos Group's V-Ray RT 3.0 and the CG animated short film CONSTRUCT, leveraging the power of NVIDIA GPUs.
A prototype of Dolby Laboratories' Enhanced Dynamic Range display. It supports 20x the brightness of standard displays. This demo features The Foundry's NUKE STUDIO for creating startling high-range content.
A unique virtual camera demonstration of a filmmaker, tablet in hand, walking through a live-action set. The NVIDIA Tegra K1-powered tablet moves through Autodesk Maya scenes rendered by Chaos V-Ray RT.
[0x1]'s Iray for Maya harnessing the power of a local workstation and remote NVIDIA Visual Computing Appliance (VCA) to demo performance that scales linearly across appliances.
NVIDIA GRID vGPU technology with Adobe Creative Cloud and Autodesk 3D applications. See how you can offload graphics processing from the CPU to the GPU in virtualized environments.
At IBC, we'll also be featuring the new HP Z840 Workstation series with the Quadro K5200 and the ultra-high-performance CADnetwork Workstation W60 using four Quadro K6000 GPUs.
IBC attendees will also be among the first to see a game-changer for the industry – the newly shipping NVIDIA VCA. It's a scalable, network-attached GPU rendering appliance. It gets its exceptional performance from eight high-end NVIDIA GPUs. Supporting NVIDIA Iray natively, NVIDIA VCA also enables Autodesk 3ds Max through Chaos Group's V-Ray RT.
Learn more about the tools and techniques to work smarter and faster from pre-production through post. Visit us at IBC at booth #7.J39.

Shiba Inu sets a new record after Musk revealed his crypto purchases!
FINTECHNews
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is known for his snarky and humorous quips on social media, but his latest pet has created quite a stir in the cryptocurrency industry. The internet went crazy when Musk announced that he had acquired a new pet dog, a Shiba Inu puppy named Floki. By sharing a photo of his puppy, Elon Musk helped Shiba Inu climb the ranks of the most valuable cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. The meme token is now devalued since he stated that he does not own any.
"None," Musk responded to a Twitter user who asked how much Shiba Inu he owns. Musk has frequently promoted Dogecoin on social media and constantly remarked on cryptocurrencies in general. In a subsequent tweet, he stated that he had purchased Bitcoin, Ether, and Dogecoin, and that was it. According to CoinGecko.com's pricing as of 9:30 a.m. on Monday, SHIB, as the cryptocurrency is known, was down 15% from it's all-time high set on Sunday Hong Kong time. The token, which is based on a Japanese hunting dog breed, has gained more than 400 per cent in the last 30 days to become the 11th largest in terms of market capitalization. According to CoinGecko, Dogecoin has increased by around 10% in the last 24 hours.
Shiba Inu has risen due to a campaign to list it on Robinhood, its ecosystem's entry into non-fungible tokens, and general interest in meme assets. Many market experts, however, believe the token's moves are often random and that it will struggle to maintain its current velocity. It was formed in 2020 by a mysterious figure known only as Ryoshi. Musk's new Shiba Inu had a major impact on the cryptocurrency world, and the value of Dogecoin almost instantly increased after the billionaire shared a photo of his Shiba Inu. Musk's new dog, Floki, has inspired a cryptocurrency called 'Floki.'

WhatsApp is loaded with so many features and that's the reason why it is one of the most popular instant messaging apps. There are several ways by which you can chat with other people on WhatsApp. For example, you can send messages to individual contacts, use group chat or broadcast feature. Out of these three options, Broadcast is the most unused feature of WhatsApp, yet it's useful.
With Broadcast feature, you can send messages to multiple contacts at once. But the same can be possible with WhatsApp group. Right? The main difference between the two is, WhatsApp group is more like a group discussion where more than one members can chat simultaneously, while broadcast allows you to send private messages to multiple contacts and they can reply to your messages only in personal chat.
When you want to send any important message to a number of people personally, you can use the broadcast feature. On the other hand, WhatsApp group can be used to do regular group chat with your friends or family members. Now let's discuss how you can use this WhatsApp broadcast feature and send messages to multiple contacts at once.

Well 2019 is here, the year that students who will be submitted to 2019/20 start! It is no longer Data Futures, but instead much closer to 'data present'.
We released version 2.0.0 of the Student 2019/20 specification in October 2018 and since then we have been making minor changes. This is usual practice and part of our work for and on behalf of HE providers, even following a stable release. As we work through comments and questions some outcomes result in model changes.
The Data Futures team have been working to finalise any outstanding model issues. We have also drafted as much guidance as possible where requested, including: recording FTE, placement data, persistent HUSID, and postgraduate research (PGR) students.
Following the responses received for the FTE consultation item (ID 60757), we have been working very closely with statutory customers to find a balance on the reporting requirements. We have had some very helpful conference calls with both HE providers and statutory customers together and this has really helped enormously with getting to a solution that works for both parties. We would like to continue this approach to resolve other issues – so if there is something you would particularly like to help with, please do get in touch.
We are working with the General Medical Council (GMC) to understand requirements for medical students, including placement data and the current Module marks field. The GMC are keen to hold some workshops with HE providers in the coming months to understand better how data is held in their systems, to potentially update the model for 2020/21.
The work to understand more clearly what is required for PGR students is ongoing, but we now understand statutory customer expectations better. We hope to be able to issue you with much clearer examples and guidance very soon.
Now that the OfS have identified their new regulatory requirements, we can confirm the data that approved providers will be required to return – and the good news is Module data will continue to not be required.
There have been several examples where HE providers have asked us a question about a data item and when it is explored in more detail, has resulted in data items being removed from the model. This was case with Module subject (for HE providers in England) and the Regulatory reference body number. So please, do keep sending your questions in, as it really helps us to clarify and to understand where we need to provide more guidance.
We have gathered a small list of change requests to implement after 2019/20 and we would like to start working through these soon. We will provide updates as soon as they are available.


The Pharaoh's Tomb — GTFO!
The recent discovery of a pyramid, has set the world's imagination afire. Rumors of a mysterious Pharaoh and an ancient curse have been circulating in the media. You have assembled a team of leading archaeologists to join you on your mission to reach the inner tomb and discover the identity of this forgotten Egyptian king. You must discover the inner tomb, identify the Pharaoh, and escape within 60 minutes, or else you too may fall victim to the Pharaoh's curse!
After being amped from The Secret of the Dragon's Spire, we wanted to do another escape room at Escape Games at the River. Our GM told us that this escape room was the first escape room they made.
This room is a true 1st generation lock & key escape room and it certainly did not have the same WOW factor or immersiveness as Dragon's Spire.
I would recommend this escape room for artists who like pen & paper puzzles because there's several of them. Some puzzles were creative. I especially like the one with the bean bags.

I don't shoot alot of weddings these days, which is probably a good thing. Weddings can be pretty full on and stressful, so shooting less means when I do shoot a wedding, I enjoy it alot more. In November 2010 I photographed the wedding of Chris & Anna, which turned out to be a lot of fun. They tied the knot in a tiny chapel in Little Akaloa on Canterbury's Banks Peninsula – we photographed some bits and pieces in the bay, and then Chris surprised the wedding party with the arrival of two helicopters to collect them (and the photographer) and drop us on the spectacular heads of the Akaroa Harbour. Below is a very small selection of the images I took.


But if you ask me, that didn't really even matter. While I was interested in learning about cold frames, I was also attending simply because I wanted to see this community garden space and meet other gardeners.
And, on that note, the workshop actually had a pretty small turnout… there were four of us present – two of whom were assisting with the event – which means really just me and one other person – Natalie* – were officially attending the workshop.
I have to admit that generally, when I think about who attends these kinds of workshops, I expect to see that stereotypical experienced gardener who arrives in grungy jeans and sneakers with calloused hands. Natalie didn't fit this description at all with her manicured nails, sunglasses, and a short latte cup. Having moved to Vermont just recently from the South where there is a year-round growing season, I think Natalie's motivation for attending the workshop was similar to my own: she just wanted to meet other gardeners and learn a few things as she started her own community garden plot.
And while the workshop didn't happen, Natalie and I still were offered some great resources. Natalie was set up with a trowel, a pot, and a little direction for transplanting some mint which she took home, and then we were both introduced to ground cherries – which are best described as a small, pineapple-like relative to the cherry tomato. Seed pods from last year's ground cherries littered a few of the garden beds, and I stuffed a big handful of these into my coat pocket.
I'm getting super-excited to start some seeds in my own community garden plot this spring, and I'm thankful to be splitting it with my boyfriend and my friend so we can share the workload and garden knowledge. Natalie, on the other hand, will be managing her own plot. My first thought about running my own plot was, "Ugh, what a load of work, and do I really know enough about gardening to pull this off?" But after the spontaneous assistance from other community gardeners, I think I'm starting to get a sense of the meaning of the "community" in community gardening. Although it might initially feel more challenging to maintain a plot if you're newer to the garden scene, there are plenty of resources available within the gardening network to ensure your hard work returns a fruitful harvest.

I have added animation to the stroke path as bellow
.arrow-bottom
  margin-top: -50px
  .draw1
    animation: animate 1s linear infinite
    stroke-dasharray: 100
    stroke-dashoffset: 100
  .draw2
    animation: animate 1.5s linear 0.9s infinite
    stroke-dasharray: 190
    stroke-dashoffset: 190

@keyframes animate
  to
    stroke-dashoffset: 0

Animation works. but when it starts loop I can see two SVG's seperately, there's no flow.
Also I want id=Back-Copy SVG element (2nd) hidden behind a div like this
enter image description here Can anyone suggest a way of doing this?

A: Run this code snippet and let me know if this is what you were trying to achieve.

*

*I set stroke-dashoffset the same for both .draw1 and .draw2

*Animation delay only works on the initial animation vs every cycle of the animation, so I created a new keyframe and added the delay in for each animation cycle. animate1 starts when animate2 ends.

.arrow-bottom {
  margin-top: 50px;
}
.arrow-bottom .draw1,
.arrow-bottom .draw2 {
    stroke-dasharray: 200 200;
    stroke-dashoffset: 200;
}
.arrow-bottom .draw1 {
  animation: animate1 2s linear 0s forwards infinite;

}
.arrow-bottom .draw2 {
  animation: animate2 2s linear 0s forwards infinite;
}

@keyframes animate1 {
  from, 20% {
    stroke-dashoffset: 200;
  }
  to {
    stroke-dashoffset: 10;
  }
}

@keyframes animate2 {
  from {
    stroke-dashoffset: 200;
  }
  49%, to {
    stroke-dashoffset: 10;
  }
}

We all know that in the digital world the customer, and their experience, is paramount. But the major issue in the digital era is that the customer experience happens at the speed of automation. When that's a good experience then all's well. But when it's not it's a major snag. You'll alienate customers who interact with your business via digital systems at a much higher rate than old-fashioned customer representatives ever could. And trying to recover from such a situation can risk your entire business.
Demonstrating the speed of digital is a small confectionery in the UK that offered a Groupon discount of 75% off a dozen cupcakes. It was a loss-making deal for the confectionery probably with the intention of taking a hit to get widespread marketing, brand recognition, and follow-up customers that would ultimately more than recoup the loss. But when the fairy dust settled the confectionery had to bake 102 000 loss-making cupcakes, which nearly bankrupted the small business.
It's absolutely crucial to realise that customer experiences no longer pivot on interactions with customer representatives. It's obvious when you think about it. Customers already interact with digital systems all the time, such as when they buy from a website, track an order online, browse a catalogue, bank, book a gym class, or view their medical benefits via an app. And those businesses are dealing with thousands of customers simultaneously.
The hiccup for many businesses is that they haven't actually digitalised big parts of their business processes or even entire processes and that results in human interference. That slows processes, encumbers them, adds to their cost, injects error, failure, and disrupts them. So, while its important to have good processes, it's also good to eliminate people from the processes and tie all of those computerised processes together.
It's important to update processes to improve them and that's a situation that never changes, perhaps even becomes more important as you engage more with users and customers.
It is crucial that a good customer experience embrace change since it is a given that customers will change as they learn more and continue to engage your business. So you have to have an on-going conversation of some sort with these customers to ensure you keep on top of their desires and requirements. That enables you to keep updating and changing the systems and processes – ultimately the customer experience – that they use to interact with you.
And yet businesspeople want systems that remain the same. Predictable systems help deliver secure, reliable, and stable service to customers.
It appears to be a catch-22.
It is but only in the beginning – and it highlights the fact that this is as much an IT as it is a business issue. And that means both IT and business must mature from their current capabilities to the desired state.
We can beat the challenge by gradually developing our capability over five levels of customer experience (CX) capability. I call them digital business ecosystems that, once you understand them, give you the roadmap to get where you want to be.
Each level represents your IT capability to improve the software in charge of how customers interact with your business. That could be an app, a website, web portal, or any other software that facilitates the business processes. But it also represents the business's capacity to be a part of that scenario in lock-step with IT and customers.
It's a complicated topic. There is no simple answer to how you make it happen in your organisation. It is certainly beyond the scope of a blog post. Drop me a line and I can help you more specifically.


When obsession and hospitality come together they create these five suites that were designed to provide comfort to adoring fans. You don't have to be a kid to completely enjoy their amenities because they have the power to make their eldest guest relive their fondest childhood memories. Whether immersed in the mystical cave of a superhero or feeling like a Barbie girl in a Barbie world, these suites let you live like your favorite fictional characters — if only for one night.
If you're thinking this 2,350 square foot version of Barbie's Dream House is just for screaming adolescents think again. From the smallest child to the oldest fan, everyone is free to enjoy this Barbie playground. In the Hot Pink Suite of the Palms Casino Resort the lines or fantasy and imagination are charmingly blurred to create this deluxe heaven where the popular doll rules.
Incorporating its Barbie theme into the smallest details, there's no escaping it; but if you're a true enthusiast you'll love every bit of Barbie art flowing throughout the suite. Barbie is everywhere, including pictures of the doll striking a pose in fashion-forward outfits, colorful pillows with the famous "B" signature draped across black sleek couches, hot-pink chairs, eye-popping bubble floors and plush bathrooms lined with bright-colored embellishments, as well as a mirror that is decorated with 65 Barbie dolls.
With a "happy chic" theme echoing from room-to-room, the Hot Pink Room may require you to dig deep in your pockets, but it definitely takes the first doll in fashion from plastic to fantastic.
It is not every day we can experience the adrenaline of being a British spy. That is why Hotel Seven in Paris encourages visitors of the city to stay in its 007 Suite. From the moment guests walk through its doors, the action here comes to life with a sleek style that impeccably emulates the agent's smooth swagger. Its lounging area is donned with a black leather coach while Bond-inspired artwork lines the walls (no need to check for hidden recording devices).
On one of the table stands next to the couch is a lamp with a gun as its post; perhaps a disguise in case any intruders barge in unwelcomed. The bedroom embraces a classic style, yet is elegantly illuminated with cutting-edge colorful lights.The bathroom, which is a centerpiece in itself features a gold royal thrown and futuristic art deco that will make James Bond proud. Just be careful of any desk fans near the tubs.
Holy room service! It's Brue's Wayne's bat cave come to life at the Eden Motel, which unconventionally creates a special treat for lovers of the caped crusader. Every inch of the room sets the scene with mirrors engraved with the bat sign, a bed that also flaunts the emblem on the headboard, a poster and cave-like walls.
Even the ceiling gets in on the action with the famous signal hung above the bed which may not be as distracting as the batmobile that is projected from the wall. There's no reason to wait for the next blockbuster to hit a screen near you when the Batman Hotel Suite takes its cues from the style of the mysterious hero.
Where else would you find a hotel completely dedicated to the King of Rock 'n' Roll? In his hometown of Memphis of course, where the soul of Elvis Presley continuously lives on. The Heartbreak Hotel is more like a shrine to say the least with four rooms decked-out like an Elvis Presley fan club.
However, it is the Graceland Suite that incorporates the entertainer's eclectic taste with good old southern hospitality. In fact you might feel as though you're a private guest of his home by the way its spaces; whether in the TV room, living room, jungle room den or glancing at his photographs hung throughout the suite take guests on a magical journey of his life. Even decades after his death, fans can embrace Elvis' monumental experiences by booking a stay at the Heartbreak Hotel.
Thanks to Lotte Hotels & Resorts, Hello Kitty fans have another paradise to let their love for the cat with the bow run wild. It takes place in their character suites where every moment is amplifed by the vibrant face of the character. Comprising of the princess room, ladies room in addition to the kids room, every age is welcomed to bask in the presence of Hello Kitty.
And in each suite, a world of fantasy unfolds with bedding covered in the cat, an array of pink hues coloring the walls and drawers, as well as bathrooms offering Hello Kitty-infused amenities and tiles displaying the character's face. Although Hello Kitty suites may seem like a child's playhouse, it is a wonderland that brings the character to life from the moment its guest wake until they fall sleep.

Palisade is engrossed in beauty and it's easy to see why tourists and locals spend their time here. From the peaches to the people, Palisade has a lot to offer.
Palisade's first inhabitants were Native Americans of the Ute tribe. The area was a part of the Northern Ute Reservation until the 1880s.
When you think of Palisade, you should think of wine, wine and then more wine. The perfect climate makes for perfect wine. There are dozens of wineries to taste test in Palisade.
Palisade is a biker's dream. Mountain bikers and road biker rejoice. There are miles of vineyards to see and trails that make you grip your handles. They wouldn't look bad from a motorcycle either.
Palisade has the best view of Mountain Garfield by far. Mount Garfield is 6,765 feet high and was named after President James Garfield.
The Peach Capital of Colorado is Palisade. Palisade has a gorgeous climate with plenty of sunshine. This produces the sweetest and juiciest peach you'll ever eat.
Colorado's biggest and oldest wine festival is every September in Palisade. After attending this past year, I highly recommend you going to the Colorado Mountain Winefest and drink some wine and stomp some grapes, in that order.
You see art on every corner and nook and cranny of Palisade. Their motto is to promote and embrace 'art as a part of everyday life.' In my opinion, the more art, the more better.
A coworker of mine told me that once he got a flat tire in Palisade, with no spare on hand. A man came out of his house, gave my coworker his spare tire (rim and all) for free, and asked nothing in return. There's definitely something special about the people of Palisade.
The first recreational dispensary in Palisade is located off Peach Avenue. The dispensary has surpassed expectations and made over $130,000 in tax revenue in less than three months.
A cemetery in Palisade could be the resting place of the biggest Led Zeppelin fan ever. You can find the lyrics to 'Stairway to Heaven' on their headstone. Now that's a die hard fan.

Another Nokia executive quits
by Michael Carroll |
Nokia has lost yet another senior executive following the resignation of a key developer of its MeeGo platform.
Ari Jaaksi, second in command of platform development, announced his departure yesterday, just a fortnight after new CEO Stephen Elop took the helm and less than three months before the first MeeGo device is due to be unveiled.
He will quit within a fortnight after resigning for personal reasons, a spokeswoman told WSJ.com.
Jaaksi is the second Nokia executive to resign since the vendor sacked boss Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo and announced Elop as his replacement early last month.
Anssi Vanjoki, head of Nokia's smartphone business and a contender for the CEO post, gave notice on the eve of the firm's developer conference. Chairman and former CEO Jorma Ollila has also said he will step down.
The Linux-based MeeGo operating system is a combination of Nokia's Maemo and Intel's Moblin platforms and is being jointly developed with the US chip giant.
Nokia says it will deploy the software in high-end smartphones and tablet PCs, with the first device due to be unveiled by the year-end.

The laureates' performances demonstrate great drive and curiosity. 'Understanding things is what drives me,' said Alexander van Oudenaarden, professor of quantitative biology of gene regulation at Utrecht University. The biophysicist and biologist believes that there are many undiscovered areas in his field of research and wants to develop new methods to explore them. He hopes that his insights will be used to fight diseases such as cancer. Eveline Crone, professor of neurocognitive developmental psychology at Leiden University, was taken by surprise when she heard that she would receive a Spinoza Prize. 'There's so much you can do with that money! I was inundated with ideas that wouldn't stop coming.' Crone would like to combine her lines of research.
At the end of the afternoon, the four laureates received a bronze statuette of the Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza (1632–1677). The statuette is a symbol of the prize.
How does the adolescent brain work? Professor E.A.M. (Eveline) Crone (1975) will use her Spinoza Prize to delve into the development of the connections in the brain. To do that, she will need to monitor adolescents over a longer period of time. She wants to predict young peoples' development by means of individual profiling, in which she integrates attributes such as upbringing, social networks and brain function. This will make it possible to offer adolescents who fall behind – at school, for example – the right kind of help at an early stage.
How does life work at the molecular level? Proteins are the most important building blocks of our life, and they ensure that we function. Professor A.J.R. (Albert) Heck (1964) studies their function and attempts, in particular, to gain a better understanding of how proteins communicate with each other. He would like to use the Spinoza Prize to improve technologies that make it possible to study how proteins interact with their environment.
Protein molecules are important mechanisms in our bodies. They are extremely dynamic and can fold and unfold again. It is crucial for us to understand how protein molecules move and change shape. A different shape often also implies different properties. That is important for how we design medicines, for example. Professor M.A.G.J. (Michel) Orrit (1956) is going to use his Spinoza Prize to monitor and shed light on the behaviour of individual protein molecules with his special single-molecule technique.
The human body consists of approximately 10 billion cells, none of which is exactly the same as the other. It is therefore important to develop methods that are sufficiently sensitive to precisely measure the properties of individual cells. Professor A. (Alexander) van Oudenaarden (1970) has developed a new technology in recent years that measures which genes are on and off in a cell. This information helps us to determine whether it is a brain cell or an intestinal cell, for example. Van Oudenaarden would like to use the Spinoza Prize to develop new methods that reveal how the history of a cell determines its present.

Q: ActionBar's action items not working on some devices I'm developing an app using ActionbarSherlock for backwards compatibility, and I'm currently having problems with the Spinner I add to the ActionBar.
Scenario:
I'm using ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS and each tab is a Fragment with it's own inflated menu.
I have no problem inflating and populating the menus or Spinners, but the problem is that the Spinner is not expanding when a user clicks it. However, when the user slides to another fragment the Spinner expands (and is shown in the wrong fragment), and when sliding back again the Spinner works as expected in the correct fragment.
This problem only occurs on devices <4.0.x (haven't tried 3.x). When testing on >4.0.x it works as expected.
I have tried debugging and going through callback methods, but I can't figure out why this happens. Can it be a bug in older versions of Android, or is it because menus and such are handled differently? (shouldn't though since I'm using ActionbarSherlock).
Does anyone have an idea of why this is happening?
EDIT:
I noticed that the problem occurs to the fragments/tabs that are not added first to the ViewPager, no matter what action item is in the menu. The first tab, i.e. the one that is active once the Activity starts, never has this problem.
Is it just me who is missing something, or is this how it's supposed to be?

A: Try this, It might help you
For spinner

A: I had a very similar problem. In my case the Activity was extending another one and the "parent" activity was returning false in onPrepareOptionsMenu() function. This was causing wrong behaviour on Android 2.x, on Android 4 all was OK. When I changed the code to return true all is fixed. Another very strange thing I noticed was that the non-working ActionItem icons where darker then the good ones (in another Activity).

Q: How to reduce time to load a pickle file in python or map a pickle file to disk I want to load pickle file of size 4.23GB.
I use below code to load the data:
import _pickle as cPickle
def read_pickle(file):
    try:
        with open(file, "rb") as input_file:
            data = cPickle.load(input_file)
            return data
    except Exception as e:
        print("Error in reading data from pickle file",e)

SyStem Configuration: 16Cores 32GB RAM
Output:
%time data=read_pickle(file)

CPU times: user 5.79 s, sys: 1.21 s, total: 7 s
Wall time: 7 s

As multiple user are using this in code so I want to load this file once in my code and use its return data each and every time is there anyway to map this file to disk to avoid load file every time or reduce loading time.

A: what kind of data are stored in the file?
If it contains only data i suggest to find an alternative.
If it contains instances or other data, try to alter dunder methods getstate and setstate in order to avoid storing useless data like raw data, temporary data structures and so on.

A: 7 seconds is decent time to read the 4 GB file back to RAM and recreate the structures you have.
For your query about serving multiple users you might want to look at Redis (or any other in-memory key-value data structure server) to hold the data and serve the users from there rather than recreating from pickle file for each user.


Demand for big rig trucks has tanked.
In March, the order for 15,700 Class 8 trucks by North American freight carriers was 6.7% lower than February and 66% lower than the orders in March of 2018, according to preliminary estimates.
Trucking companies made massive buys in 2018, but the real issue is that the backlog of orders means that even a truck bought tomorrow won't arrive for nine months. Truck manufacturers have a backlog of 397,000 orders, according to Jennifer Smith of The Wall Street Journal.

Our horses are at the heart of all our programs. If you have a horse you would like to donate, please review the following criteria and process for Giant Steps to accept a horse for a trial period.
Contact our Program Director with any questions.
1. Horses must meet the criteria listed for new horses and owner must thoroughly complete the New Horse Assessment Form. The Program Director will determine if the characteristics of the horse match the current program needs (Giant Steps keeps a diverse herd to accommodate the specific needs of our participant population).
2. If the horse is within a 50 mile radius of the program site, horses are observed being groomed, tacked, lead and ridden, by the Program Director, Head Instructor and designated program staff. This is either done at the Giant Steps program location or where the horse is currently boarded.
3. If beyond a 50 mile radius, the owner submits a video of the horse being groomed, tacked, lead and ridden both ways of the ring in all gaits.
4. If the horse meets the criteria and there is space available, then arrangements will be made for the owner to deliver the horse to Giant Steps for a 60-90 day trial period.
5. Prior to the delivery of the horse, the owner and the Giant Steps Program Director will sign the "Horse Trial Period Agreement" (for donations) or "Horse Lease Agreement" (for leased equines).
6. The horse will be in the care and custody of the Giant Steps program staff for the purposes of evaluation and training as outlined in the Horse Trial Agreement. Please note, the owner of the horse is responsible for the cost of board as well as basic veterinary and farrier care while the horse is in his/her trial period.
7. All horse donations over the value of $5000 need to be submitted with 2 appraisals provided by the donor, prior to the trial period.
8. The horse will be accepted as a donation to the program once it has completed the trial period successfully as approved by the Program Director. The owner and the Program Director will sign the "Horse Donation Acceptance Agreement". If the horse is not deemed suitable for the program at any time during the trial agreement the owner of the horse will be notified and is responsible for transportation of the horse off of Giant Steps property.
Please complete and email the following two forms to [email protected].
And as with any barn or business, we are in constant need of various supplies.

How to Advertise an Interest Only Loan. So what are the rules if I want to advertise an interest only loan product? Lets assume your ad has the loan amount, an interest rate, and the APR. What else is required to be disclosed on interest only loans?
(i) The amount or percentage of the downpayment.
(ii) The terms of repayment, which reflect the repayment obligations over the full term of the loan, including any balloon payment.
(iii) The "annual percentage rate," using that term, and, if the rate may be increased after consummation, that fact.
So items (i) and (iii) are not hard so we won't spend much time discussing them. But the disclosure obligation on item (ii) can be a bit tricky. This rule requires us to explain the terms of repayment which refers to disclosing the payment obligation and how it can change over the term of the loan.
Loan Assumptions: Loan shown above assumes a $200,000 loan with an interest rate of 4.75%, 5.125% APR. During the first ten years of the loan, the Payment will be interest only based on the amount of outstanding principal balance. For the remaining 20 years, the payment will be calculated at principal and will amortize over the remaining term. The payment amount during the first 120 months of the loan will be an interest only payment of $________. Payments on the loan become a principal and interest payment of $_______ commencing with the 121st month for the remainder of the loan term. Note that in month 121 your payment amount increases substantially as the payment now includes repayment of principal. Keep in mind that you will be required to make this higher monthly payment over the last 20 years of the loan or you could lose your home to foreclosure.
The above representation does not represent legal advice but represents the authors' view of one way to comply with the Regulation Z requirements as well as the Non-traditional Guidance that requires lenders to provide consumers with a disclosure regarding the risk of "payment shock" on non-traditional mortgage products.

Q: Blueimp File Upload: file is not deleting correctly from queue I am having following blueimp file upload code:
.on('fileuploadadd', function (e, data) {
   data.context = $('
').appendTo('#FilesListThumb');
   $.each(data.files, function (index, file) {
         var node = $("

X

").addClass("thumbnail-ib");
         node.appendTo(data.context);
         node.find("h6").click(function(){
              data.files.splice($(this).attr("fileId"),1);
              node.remove();
         });
 });

When i click h6 sometimes it removes files from queue sometimes not.Why? Next question is how to remove all files from queue?

A: I suggest you to use an incremented global variable instead of the index value:
var globalVariable = 0; // To be declare in a global context

.on('fileuploadadd', function (e, data) {
    data.context = $('
').appendTo('#FilesListThumb');
    $.each(data.files, function (index, file) {
        globalVariable = globalVariable + 1;
        var node = $("

X

").addClass("thumbnail-ib");
        file.fileId = globalVariable; // Add the same id to the file
        node.appendTo(data.context);
        node.find("h6").click(function(){
            $.each(data.files, function (index, file) {
                if(file.fileId == $(this).attr("fileId"){
                     data.files.splice(index, 1);
                     return false; // Break the loop
            };
            node.remove();
        });
    });
});

To remove files from the queue you can look at the following question on SO (I like the tanguy_k's answer) : How do I empty an array in JavaScript? and apply it to the data.files array.
