Enhancing Asset Monitoring: The Power of Dictionary Renderers for Status Indicators
ArcGIS Blog BLUF: Use the Status Indicator Symbology to display clear and concise status information for locations of interest. Imagine a command center – something dimly lit with a multitude of displays giving a variety of real-time feeds. The mission commander walks in and needs a brief about the status of the operation. “What’s going on with that base over there? Why’s the status red?” An analyst swiftly pulls up a map, interacting with it as a series of attributes appearing in a pop-up.
The impact of soaring season pass sales on ski and snowboard participation rates.
Article Date: Friday, December 14, 2018 By John Fry For 35 years, the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) has reliably measured the volume of winter visits at U.S. areas.

Despite claims to the contrary, Rep. Michelle Caldier votes and acts like a Democrat, while wearing a thin Republican disguise. Voters of the 26th Legislative District should not allow themselves to be fooled. Over 90 percent of her support comes from outside the 26th. And her voting record flies in the face of voters who support conservative values. The one true Republican in the race, Randy Boss, has been producing tangible results in our community for over 20 years.
