Collaborating with CSIRO: Inland Rail Supply Chain Mapping Pilot Study
The initial pilot study, conducted in 2018, modelled potential transport cost savings for regional supply chains along the Parkes to Narromine corridor, should producers use Inland Rail. the pilot found on average a $76 per tonne saving when shifting specific agricultural supply chains from road to Inland Rail.
The results from the Supply Chain Mapping Pilot were announced by the Deputy Prime Minister, Michael McCormack, on 21 March 2019.
Read the executive summary:
Read the full report:
Expanding the evidence base:
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Chain Supply Mapping Study provided independent scientifically backed evidence on the significant cost savings should producers use Inland Rail.
The pilot tested the suitability of the CSIRO Transport Network Strategic Investment Tool (TraNSIT) to analyse existing regional freight supply chains and identify efficiencies from Inland Rail in the Parkes, Dubbo and Narromine regions.
TraNSIT was applied to model supply chain movements, costs and transport durations for horticulture and post-processed food that pass through the Parkes to Narromine study area.
TraNSIT has been used in previous research to test the benefits of road upgrades and calculate transport benefits for industry and various levels of government. TraNSIT provides an evidence base for industries to maximise transport cost savings. It uses a ground up approach that optimises transport routes between enterprises and their markets – a key consideration in Australia, which is characterised by long supply chains with large distances between production, processing and markets.
Key findings of the pilot study - Parkes to Narromine
Reduce supply chain costs
- an average transport cost saving of $76 (or a range of $64-$94) per tonne could be achieved for horticulture and post-processed food supply chains when shifting from road to Inland Rail.
- for horticulture products currently transported by rail on the coastal line there is a potential average transport cost saving of $31 per tonne when shifting to Inland Rail.
Reduce heavy vehicle congestion
- the analysis indicates a substantial benefit to the community in the study area through a reduction of up to 63,000 heavy vehicle trips per year along various segments of the Newell Highway.
The study area in numbers
- 40% more post-processed food is destined for the study area's market than leaves for domestic locations elsewhere.
- 71% of all freight movements associated with the study area, pass through the study area.
- roughly 923,000 tonnes of horticulture and post-processed agriculture are set to benefit from using Inland Rail.
- 80.5% of horticulture freight passes through the study area and is the largest contributor of traffic on the Newell Highway in the study area out of all the commodities analysed.
- 14.9% of total freight for the study area has an origin within the study area, with grains and fuels prominent.

Applet Message
An applet message is a free-flowing text control which presents a mix of hard-coded, static text strings and dynamic data from the Siebel database, filled in at run time. An applet message is presented as a continuous, wrapped line of text. Applet messages are similar to the personalization text which appears on home pages. You can use applet messages to provide instructions to the end user performing the task. For example, in the Siebel Call Center application, an applet message may represent a block of text to be read by a customer service representative (the end user), when addressing a customer.
You specify the static text at design time. The dynamic data is derived from business component fields and, at run time, it becomes part of the applet message the end user sees while moving through the task.
NOTE: The format of the text in the applet message is not editable.
An applet message, as a user interface control, is statically positioned within the task applet. It differs from other control types (such as Text or Field) by always displaying its content as read-only, and not inside a box or border in the user interface.
Figure 3 shows an example of an applet message. In this example, the values for status, account, and the name and number of the agreement are dynamic.

text: At Laser-Laboratorium Gottingen, the performance of UV optical components for high power excimer lasers is characterized, aiming to employ testing procedures that meet industrial conditions, i.e. very high pulse numbers and repetition rates. Measurements include determination of single and multiple pulse damage thresholds, absorption loss and degradation of optical properties under long-term irradiation. Absorption of excimer laser pulses is investigated by a calorimetric technique which provides greatly enhanced sensitivity compared to transmissive measurements. Thus, it allows determining both single and two photon absorption coefficients at intensities of standard excimer lasers. Results of absorption measurements at 248 nm are presented for bare substrates (CaF2, BaF2, z-cut quartz and fused silica). UV calorimetry is also employed to investigate laser induced aging phenomena, e.g. color center formation in fused silica. A separation of transient and cumulative effects as a function of intensity is achieved, giving insight into various loss mechanisms.

FRUIT BEHAVIOROLOGY IN SWITZERLAND - DESIGNING URBAN RURAL COMMONS
The notion of Urban Rural Commons is understood as the possibility to consider both rural and urban commons, as well as a possible interaction between the two. Students will examine the existing livelihood with ethnographic approach and visualize them by actor network drawings. Then, through drawings and models, the students will propose an architectural project to intervene in the network and establish Urban Rural Commons to define a possible future for the study area.
This year, we focus on designing architecture for livelihoods focused on permanent fruit crops, such as vineyards, apple orchards or chestnut forests. We are aiming to design Urban Rural Commons within the small rural communities and the larger urbanised area and forester a better connection within and between village and urban life. Fruit crops are in many ways important for Switzerland. For example, a typical person in Switzerland consumes more than 15 kilograms of apples and about 40 bottles of wine per year. Besides the nutritional value, fruit has a highly symbolic value in our culture, spanning from ancient stories to modern day politics and everyday rituals. And lastly fruit and the producers, which can be gained by certain processes have a great economic value and massive impact on the areas, where fruit plantations are possible and will usually change entire landscapes.
One of the biggest and most important fruit growing areas and our field of study in the autumn semester will be the lower Valais. There, plantations, retaining walls, irrigation system and other infrastructure have shaped the valley for centuries and fruit plantations reach even within the most urbanised centers.


text: In 2019, a vertical lift gate failed in Lake Dunlap reservoir, which provides water for Calpine's 1,029 MW natural gas-fired, combined-cycle Guadalupe Power Plant (Guadalupe). This gate failure caused significant water loss in Lake Dunlap, potentially threatening Guadalupe's capability to generate power. Weston performed a water intake resiliency analysis to quickly determine whether Lake Dunlap was still a secure source of water for Guadalupe by analyzing reservoir infrastructure, threat of invasive species, and water supply constraints due to drought. To gather the necessary information, Weston conducted interviews; reviewed as-built drawings and drought-management plans; analyzed the intake and pumping station; evaluated the effect of discharge from the nearby wastewater treatment plant; and investigated the effect of invasive Zebra mussels found in Lake Dunlap. The results yielded findings that Lake Dunlap was still a reliable source of water for Guadalupe. Moreover, discoveries made during the analysis, such as anticipated increases in water discharged from the nearby wastewater treatment plant, offset concerns of drought for long-term water security for Guadalupe.

Adequate Blasting for Maritime Vessels
Adequate Blasting for Maritime Vessels
A correct blasting process and the application of adequate treatments guarantee a long life for maritime vessels.
The Star of India ship was built in 1863 and it is still in functioning condition today. After many adventures on seas and oceans, under its original name of Euterpe, the vessel was sold in 1901 and it was renamed Star of India – a name that it is still bearing today. It kept transporting both passengers and merchandise until 1923, when steam vessels started dominating the seas. Time started taking its toll as well, the ship needing major repairs.
Blasting played an important role in restoring the ship's metallic structural elements. Thus, the old paint layers were removed, along with rust and other residues accumulated and the metallic surface was cleaned, allowing it, once again, to go through the necessary treatments in an efficient manner, which extended the vessel's life cycle.
The Star of India was refurbished and it met the ocean again in 1976. Currently, it belongs to the Maritime Museum in San Diego and it sails at least once a year.

Data Skew
Dealing with Data Skew with Control Center
You may encounter issues with clusters allocating data to each other constantly. In this topic we will show how to debug the issue when you notice high CPU usage with Control Center.
In this example we will look at a 4-node cluster, an application that runs read operations, and Control Center displays an alert about high CPU usage.
In Control Center dashboards you can see that one of the nodes is using a lot of CPU.
One of the possible reasons is incorrect data distribution. This can be checked in the Caches screen. The Partition Distribution screen contains information about partitions and keys on each node.
If everything is fine, you should look into the number of operations performed at each node. If, for example, one of the caches has a lot of operations performed on a single node, the problem is localized. In this case it is likely to be what is known as Celebrity Users problem. For example, a company is much bigger than others and has a lot more operations related to it.
Yet another possible issue is in cache configuration options, available from the Caches screen. Check the readFromBackup parameter. If it is set to false, GridGain always tries to read data from the cache, and this can cause a lot of load. If you have this parameter disabled, you will always read the latest update, but at a cost of repeated read requests. Set the patameter to true and recreate the cache.

Performance tuning guidance for using PowerShell with Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1
This article lists the properties that can be tuned to get a better performance while using PowerShell to work with Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1:
Note
This article has been updated to use the new Azure PowerShell Az module. You can still use the AzureRM module, which will continue to receive bug fixes until at least December 2020. To learn more about the new Az module and AzureRM compatibility, see Introducing the new Azure PowerShell Az module. For Az module installation instructions, see Install Azure PowerShell.
Property Default Description
PerFileThreadCount 10 This parameter enables you to choose the number of parallel threads for uploading or downloading each file. This number represents the max threads that can be allocated per file, but you may get fewer threads depending on your scenario (for example, if you are uploading a 1-KB file, you get one thread even if you ask for 20 threads).
ConcurrentFileCount 10 This parameter is specifically for uploading or downloading folders. This parameter determines the number of concurrent files that can be uploaded or downloaded. This number represents the maximum number of concurrent files that can be uploaded or downloaded at one time, but you may get less concurrency depending on your scenario (for example, if you are uploading two files, you get two concurrent files uploads even if you ask for 15).
Example
This command downloads files from Data Lake Storage Gen1 to the user's local drive using 20 threads per file and 100 concurrent files.
Export-AzDataLakeStoreItem -AccountName <Data Lake Storage Gen1 account name> -PerFileThreadCount 20-ConcurrentFileCount 100 -Path /Powershell/100GB/ -Destination C:\Performance\ -Force -Recurse
How do I determine the value for these properties?
The next question you might have is how to determine what value to provide for the performance-related properties. Here's some guidance that you can use.
 - Step 1: Determine the total thread count - You should start by calculating the total thread count to use. As a general guideline, you should use six threads for each physical core.
 Total thread count = total physical cores * 6

 Example
 Assuming you are running the PowerShell commands from a D14 VM that has 16 cores
 Total thread count = 16 cores * 6 = 96 threads

 - Step 2: Calculate PerFileThreadCount - We calculate our PerFileThreadCount based on the size of the files. For files smaller than 2.5 GB, there is no need to change this parameter because the default of 10 is sufficient. For files larger than 2.5 GB, you should use 10 threads as the base for the first 2.5 GB and add 1 thread for each additional 256-MB increase in file size. If you are copying a folder with a large range of file sizes, consider grouping them into similar file sizes. Having dissimilar file sizes may cause non-optimal performance. If that's not possible to group similar file sizes, you should set PerFileThreadCount based on the largest file size.
 PerFileThreadCount = 10 threads for the first 2.5 GB + 1 thread for each additional 256 MB increase in file size

 Example
 Assuming you have 100 files ranging from 1 GB to 10 GB, we use the 10 GB as the largest file size for equation, which would read like the following.
 PerFileThreadCount = 10 + ((10 GB - 2.5 GB) / 256 MB) = 40 threads

 - Step 3: Calculate ConcurrentFilecount - Use the total thread count and PerFileThreadCount to calculate ConcurrentFileCount based on the following equation:
 Total thread count = PerFileThreadCount * ConcurrentFileCount

 Example
 Based on the example values we have been using
 96 = 40 * ConcurrentFileCount

 So, ConcurrentFileCount is 2.4, which we can round off to 2.
Further tuning
You might require further tuning because there is a range of file sizes to work with. The preceding calculation works well if all or most of the files are larger and closer to the 10-GB range. If instead, there are many different files sizes with many files being smaller, then you could reduce PerFileThreadCount. By reducing the PerFileThreadCount, we can increase ConcurrentFileCount. So, if we assume that most of our files are smaller in the 5-GB range, we can redo our calculation:
PerFileThreadCount = 10 + ((5 GB - 2.5 GB) / 256 MB) = 20
So, ConcurrentFileCount becomes 96/20, which is 4.8, rounded off to 4.
You can continue to tune these settings by changing the PerFileThreadCount up and down depending on the distribution of your file sizes.
Limitation
 - Number of files is less than ConcurrentFileCount: If the number of files you are uploading is smaller than the ConcurrentFileCount that you calculated, then you should reduce ConcurrentFileCount to be equal to the number of files. You can use any remaining threads to increase PerFileThreadCount.
 - Too many threads: If you increase thread count too much without increasing your cluster size, you run the risk of degraded performance. There can be contention issues when context-switching on the CPU.
 - Insufficient concurrency: If the concurrency is not sufficient, then your cluster may be too small. You can increase the number of nodes in your cluster, which gives you more concurrency.
 - Throttling errors: You may see throttling errors if your concurrency is too high. If you are seeing throttling errors, you should either reduce the concurrency or contact us.

Pioneering research and development on the TruScreen system for real-time cervical tissue differentiation has involved close collaboration with leading clinicians and hospitals across the world.
TruScreen's development began in the late 1980s under the guidance of leading medical academics from Sydney University who sought to establish objective technology that could improve on the conventional Pap test. They believed that it should be possible to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissue by measuring changes in physical properties, such as electrical potential.
After almost 20 years in the R&D phase TruScreen was developed using the 'Opto Electrical' Technology for the detection of cancerous cells on cervix. TruScreen contains a sophisticated algorithm framework that has been developed in collaboration with the Australian Government's applied research division, CSIRO.
TruScreen has been honoured with a range of technology and engineering awards, such as the Australian Design Awards in 2002 for engineering design and a further award for software electronics design. TruScreen was also highlighted in the 2004 Australian Government publication 'Imagination – 100 Years of Bright Ideas in Australia'.
The TruScreen system has a strong range of patents across many countries for its real-time tissue classification from signal inputs using proprietary algorithms.


Edden Hammons
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Edden Hammons (born 28 Feb 1875[1] Webster County, West Virginia, died 7 September 1955[2] ) was an American fiddler from West Virginia. He was known for his idiosyncratic style, creativity, and the many (often exaggerated) folkloric tales about him.[3]
Edden Hammons was born to Jesse Hammons and Nancy Hicks on 28 February 1875 at Williams River in Webster County, West Virginia. He was the youngest in a family of seven. His three brothers (Paris, Peter, and Cornelius), as well as his father, played the fiddle. Edden took up the fiddle at an early age, playing on a fiddle made out of a gourd that his father made for him. His family was known for its musicians, woodsmen, and hunters.[3]
Edden progressed in his fiddle playing and soon obtained a store-bought fiddle. There are several different stories about this. In one, a friend of Edden's father asked Edden to play him a tune. Edden took out his gourd-fiddle and played for the man. Afterwards, the man was so impressed that he gave Edden his own fiddle. Another story refers to when a renowned fiddler named Bernard "Burn" Hamrick was playing for a local dance. After he finished playing, Edden's father asked Burn if Edden could play a few tunes on his fiddle. Burn agreed to let Edden play his fiddle, and was so discouraged afterwards by Edden's superior ability that he let him keep the fiddle. Whatever the story may have really been, it is sure that Edden received a nicer fiddle that his original one, and started to become well known as a fiddle player in his area.[3]
In his home, Edden was spoiled and spared from chores and work. These qualities would follow him into his adult life. A popular example among the Hammons family of Edden's distaste of work is shortly after his first marriage in 1892. His wife asked Edden to stop playing the fiddle, get a job, and support a family. Edden was quoted as saying "Pon [sic] my honor, I'll lay my fiddle down for no damn woman".[3] The two separated and were legally divorced in 1897. 10 days after the divorce, Edden married his second wife, Elizabeth Shaffer (despite pleas from Elizabeth's family members for her to not marry Edden). The two raised seven children and remained married until Elizabeth's death in 1954.[3]
Edden's family lived somewhat nomadically, moving from one place to another usually twice a year. Edden still rarely worked during these times. He supported his family through hunting, fishing, farming, moonshining and other odd jobs. His daughter, Emma Hammons, recalls that "[h]e whittled axe handles, he played for dances, different things. He picked up money that way. Ginseng, he'd get money that way. It was against the law but he would kill squirrels, turkeys and sell them, or fish - he always had a couple dollars in his pocket somehow".[3]
Edden continued his fiddle playing throughout his adult life. At this point he was regarded as one of the best fiddlers from West Virginia. He won many fiddle contests. People would visit at odd hours just to hear him play, and on some occasions, people would have him play music over the phone while the neighborhood listened in. Other anecdotes appear from this era, such as how Edden would show up somewhere to play music, and would carry his fiddle in a flour sack (with the flour still inside it). His nephew, Currence, recalls when "[Edden] just walked over to the corner and picked up the flour poke and they all got to looking to what he was getting. He pulled that old fiddle out and flour all over it. He dusted it off, blowed it off, you know. Some of them went to laughing and hollering about that flour. 'Upon my honor,' Edden said, 'that's just as good as the best cases every made,' he said, 'that flour makes her play good.'" [3]
On 7 September 1955, Hammons died of coronary thrombosis at Renick in Pocahontas County, West Virginia.[4] His death record cites his occupation as fiddler.[5]
To this day, Edden Hammons is still a very well respected fiddler. He has recorded many solo fiddle tunes on two compilations of his music.
Although occasionally accompanied by his son, James, Hammons typically played alone. Consequently, he was able to play some tunes in odd time signatures, play certain parts as many times as he found fit, and change the tempo at his will without having to worry about throwing off a band. He was also known for playing several variations of the same melody within a tune, adding a lot of ornamentation, and occasionally tagging on a few extra beats to some parts (such as "Big Fancy").
Edden is one of the few, if not the only, sources of many traditional songs that are popular today. These include "Shaking Off the Acorns", "Sandy Boys", "Big Fancy", and "Old Greasy Coat". His influence is still widespread among old-time fiddlers and other musicians within the old-time genre.
In August 1947, Louis Chappell recorded 52 tunes by Edden Hammons. These were released as two separate LPs. The first was "The Edden Hammons Collection, Volume One", which contained 15 of these recordings. Some of these tunes included "Washington's March", "Shaking Off the Acorns", and "Fine Times At Our House".[3] The second release was a two-disc set called "The Edden Hammons Collection, Volume Two", which contained more recorded songs from the same session. This release contained such tunes as "Birdy", "Jake's Got the Bellyache", and "Big Hoedown". Both of these LP's were released in 1984

The oxidation degree of magnetite determines the magnetic strength of magnetite. The higher the oxidation degree, the lower the magnetism.
We received magnetite from South America. After the magnetic separation experiment, we improved its grade from 33.61% to 66.22%.
Magnetite is a strongly magnetic mineral, so a beneficiation process based on weak magnetic separation is generally used.
The beneficiation process in this process is divided into two parts, the magnetic beneficiation part, and the gravity beneficiation part.
Magnetic separation is a separation method that uses the difference in magnetic permeability between minerals.

French Word of the Day: Croque-mort
French Word of the Day: Croque-mort
The word croque-mort may be one of the most off-putting in the French language, and no one seems to agree on its origins. Since its case is yet to be settled, here is everything you need to know to choose your side.
What do I need to know croque-mort?
Being a croque-mort is a job like any other else and you may have to call upon one someday. Behind this ill-omened term, stories on how it was born continue to have French people debating.
So what does it mean?
A croque-mort is another word for employé des pompes funèbres – undertaker, or literally translating to 'dead-biter'. Il est croque-mort, ça doit être déprimant comme métier. – He is an undertaker; it must be such a depressing job.
The term is slightly casual, so if you were talking to someone recently bereaved about funeral arrangements it might be better to use the more formal employé des pompes funèbres, but you won't insult someone if you use this to describe their work.
The most commonly spread legend on the origin of the word is also regarded as the least accurate of all.
A long time ago – possibly starting from the Middle Ages but no one knows for sure – undertakers supposedly had to bite the dead person's big toe to make sure they really were deceased. If there was no reaction, then the person could be buried.
Other possible origins
While this quirky story is very popular among the French, two more plausible explanations have surfaced.
During the plague epidemics of the Middle Ages, survivors would use un croc de boucher – a meat hook – to drag bodies towards mass graves. The ending c is usually silent, but if pronounced, croc will sound like croque. This could have easily led to the creation of a word such as croque-mort.
Even the Académie Française, acting as the official guardian of the French language, has its take on the subject. According to the official body, the misunderstanding comes from the double meaning of the verb croquer.
Though little used in this sense, croquer can also mean'steal' or'make something disappear'. Sa soeur a croqué tout l'héritage! – Her sister stole the entire inheritance!
The word croque-mort would then simply take its origins on the image of someone'stealing' people in the fashion of the Reaper, or making them disappear by burying them.

Decibel meters or sound level sensors can be categorized broadly into 2 types – surface mount and external microphone type. This decibel sensor mounting guide covers surface mount (SMD) type sensors only.
A surface mount or SMD decibel meter is designed such that it can be stuck to an enclosure and the meter reads audio levels through a hole in the enclosure.
An external microphone based sound level sensor uses an external microphone that is mounted outside an enclosure. The electronic module that processes the audio signals is located away from the microphone itself. This arrangement is preferable for deployment in harsh outdoor conditions. SMD modules are better used in indoor environments.
Here is an example of our SMD decibel level sensor connected to a Raspberry Pi.
As mentioned before, the sensor module itself integrates a precision MEMS microphone for noise measurement. Therefore, you can simply stick the module to an enclosure for monitoring sound levels.
Why Proper Mounting is Important
The MEMS microphone integrated into the decibel meter module is a precision sound pressure sensing device. MEMS systems are delicate and when subjected to harsh operating environments, it is important to protect them to preserve their accuracy and ensure a long operational life.
By observing proper mounting practices, you can
- Prolong sensor life and maintain accuracy
- Keep reading errors low
- Reduce cost of assembling your product
- Maintain product reliability through harsh operating conditions
How to Mount an SMD Decibel Sensor
The module is designed to be stuck along a flat surface on the interior of an enclosure. A small hole in the enclosure allows sounds to reach the microphone port of the SMD decibel sensor module.
- Plastic enclosures are recommended. A metal enclosure should not be used unless absolutely required.
- Wall thickness of less than 5mm is desirable where the SMD decibel sensor is stuck. This ensures that the sound port hole does not form a long cylindrical cavity, therefore affecting how the microphone receives sound.
- Where protection from dust is required, it is recommended to have the protective mesh installed between the sensor PCB and the enclosure. The closer the protective mesh is to the sensor PCB – the better the accuracy of the sensor.
- The surface to which the decibel sensor is stuck should not flex easily and cause the sensor PCB to bend.
Decibel Sensor Positioning Tips
After you have selected a good enclosure for your product, it is important to pay attention to how the decibel sensor is mounted or positioned inside the enclosure.
Correct positioning will ensure low dust exposure, accurate readings and ease of installation.
Here are some tips on how to mount the sensor optimally.
- Do not mount the sensor with the sound inlet facing upwards. This will cause dust to gather inside the hole and block the sound port quickly.
- Mounting the sensor on a side wall is preferable. This reduces exposure to dust and allows accuracte capture of surrounding noise.
- Mounting the sensor on a sidewall with a small protrusion or roof over the sound inlet is the most optimal as it keeps dust away.
- If your device has cooling fans or air circulation system for applications like air quality monitoring, make sure the microphone inlet is not exposed to dust and vibrations directly. You may still need to turn off all vibration sources in the system momentarily to gain an accurate decibel reading.
- Frequent flexing and bending of the decibel sensor PCB will negatively affect its life and may product momentary glitches in readings. Avoid surfaces that have connector holes or user buttons.
- Avoid placing the sensor where someone will frequently touch or block the audio inlet hole. Even if it does not affect readings, it may eventually cause the inlet hole to clog from frequent contact pushing dust into the hole.
- Avoid placing the audio inlet hole in the middle of large flat plastic surfaces that can attract dust because of static charge.

resized image dimensions incorrectly floored instead of rounded — at Version 1
|Reported by:||_ck_||Owned by:|
Description (last modified by scribu)
Image dimensions are incorrectly floored instead of rounded to a proper number. Some attempt at "fixup" is done later in some processes to move them by a pixel, but still the way it's initially calculated is wrong.
A typical photo has a 3:2 (3/2 = 1.5) ratio.
If it's resized to 600px width, WP will make the height 399px - this is wrong.
It happens because of function wp_constrain_dimensions in media.php (~line 304) which floors the float using intval, which is wrong.
$w = intval( $current_width * $ratio ); $h = intval( $current_height * $ratio );
$w = round( $current_width * $ratio ); $h = round( $current_height * $ratio );
Earlier in the function, both $ratio and $current_width are already handled as numbers, so they have to be valid numbers, no need to use intval for that reason, it's just being used to floor, which is bad in this case.
Using round is not a performance issue because this function is not used in realtime output for templates but typically in admin area.
Optionally while you are at it, put a filter on wp_constrain_dimensions and pass the filter all the values passed to the function before the array is returned at the end.

Errors
4 ways to fix Twitch Error code 5000
Twitch Error code 5000
Written by Sandip Lokhande
Encountered Twitch error code 5000 and wondering how to fix it? It's one of the common issues users have been facing. Thankfully, it's easy to solve. Here's how to fix it.
What is Twitch Error 5000?
data-preserver-spaces="true">Twitch Error 5000 is the most common error you can encounter. The error appears as Twitch Error 5000: Content not found. The error usually occurs when you try to stream on Twitch. You may not be able to do so due to some plugins or the Chrome extension associated with your browser.
In most cases, it's a flash player issue. The problem is not related to some specific plugins of extensions. The culprit could be any other plugin or extension.
What causes Twitch error 5000?
There can be many reasons for this error. This can involve
 - Cache and cookies: Browser caches are one of the main reasons you see problems. They are a feature that focuses on reducing the loading time of websites. However, sometimes due if the cache gets corrupted, you get a twitch error code of 5000.
 - Extensions: Extensions are one of the main reasons you see a Twitch error 5000. Extensions are compelling to control in determining how websites work in our browsers. That can be a problem. The "Ghostery" extension that caused the error is one such example.
 - Browser: Sometimes, the main culprit is your browser. So the browser you are using may have some issues.
 - DNS Issue: Finally, it could be a DNS issue, which can be the ultimate resolve. DNS translates the website name to the IP address and then connects to the website. In some cases, the DNS may be corrupted, and you may see a twitch error code 5000.
How to Fix Twitch Error 5000
To fix Twitch Error 5000, here are a couple of solutions that you can try:
Fix 1: Enable Flash Player
If you're getting this error when only using Chrome, it is a good idea to launch Flash Player. To launch the Flash Player, you can follow these steps:
 1. First, launch the Chrome browser on your computer.
 2. Then type Chrome://settings in the URL field and press Enter.
 3. This will take you to the settings page, scroll down from here, and click on Advanced.
 4. Now select the content settings.
 5. Then select Flash.
 6. Finally, turn on the Flash with the toggle button.
However, if this method does not work for you, here are some other solutions you can try:
Fix 2: Clear cookies and cache
Sometimes error 5000 occurs because the twitch server is inaccessible, which means it's a temporary issue. However, our browsers store cache and use them every time we try to access the website. So there are potential chances of conflict between website and cache files.
The cache browser does not allow the website to be loaded from the current time. Instead, the cache shows a copy of the website previously stored on your computer. This way, your website will load faster. Sometimes, the cache will not be updated on a recent web page. As a result, you will get a similar error even if the website is active. Therefore, cache clearing is the best option.
 1. Open history by pressing Ctrl + H.
 2. Click on clear browsing data.
 3. A window appears, in that click on Advanced Tab.
 4. In Time range, click on All time and tick all the boxes you see.
 5. Click on Clear Data.
 6. After this, restart your browser and check if the issue is resolved.
Fix 3: Disable extensions
Finally, you can disable extensions. Many users have complained that Twitch is not working in Chrome. This occurs due to conflict in some extensions. So, you can try disabling them and see if everything works properly. To disable extensions, you can follow these steps:
 1. Launch Chrome.
 2. In the address bar, type Chrome://extensions and press Enter. If you are using Firefox, you will need to type about: addons in the address bar and press Enter.
 3. Then here, you will find a list of extensions or plugins.
 4. Disable all plugins and extensions one by one.
 5. Now check if you are facing Twitch Error 5000 or not.
Additionally, you should pay extra attention to the extensions that are recently installed in your browser.
Fix 4: Use another browser.
Suppose you are still getting the error. It's a good idea to change your browser and see if everything works properly. For example, if you have a problem with Chrome, try downloading Mozilla Firefox and see if you get the same error. You can also test Microsoft's Edge browser and look for the issue. Similarly, if you are a Firefox user, try other browsers and see if it fixes the problem.

The pandemic of COVID-19 has accelerated the adoption of touchless technology in various industries. In the music industry, touchless technology is transforming DJing by providing a safer and more interactive experience for DJs and music enthusiasts. This article explores how touchless technology is changing DJ controllers, including gesture recognition, virtual DJing, and motion control.
Touchless Technology in DJing
The cutting-edge innovations in DJ controllers allow DJs to control their set without physically touching the equipment. This system uses sensors to detect hand movements, allowing DJs to manipulate the sound with gestures. It can be used to control various aspects of music production and performance, including volume, effects, and EQ.
Benefits of Touchless Technology: Why They Are Good?
The advantages of tech innovations in DJing include the following:
- increased creativity
- better crowd engagement
- reduced physical strain.
It also provides a safer and more hygienic experience for DJs and music enthusiasts by reducing the need for physical contact with equipment. It also allows for a more interactive and immersive experience by enabling gesture-based control of the sound.
Examples of DJ Touchless Technology
Standards of touchless technology in DJ controllers include infrared sensors, motion sensors, proximity sensors, Leap Motion Controller, and Microsoft Kinect.
Gesture Recognition in DJ Controllers
Gesture recognition allows DJs to control their mix with hand gestures. It uses sensors in a way to detect hand movements, allowing DJs to scratch, mix, and loop their music without touching the equipment. Examples of gesture recognition in DJ controllers include the Pioneer DDJ-1000SRT and the Numark Mixtrack Platinum FX.
Virtual DJing is a type of touchless technology that allows DJs to control their mix in a virtual environment. It uses sensors to detect hand movements, allowing DJs to mix their sets using virtual DJ software. Examples of virtual DJing using touchless technology include the VirtualDJ software and the Algoriddim djay app.
Motion Control in DJing
Motion control is a type of touchless technology that uses sensors to detect body movements, allowing DJs to scratch, mix, and loop their music with physical body movements. Examples of motion control in DJing include the Numark Orbit and the Pioneer DJS-1000.

*With the release of Prospect 2.0, we now support FBX files. We recommend exporting to an FBX file from 3ds Max, rather than an OBJ.
*Note for 3ds Max 2019: The latest version of 3ds Max no longer supports Autodesk Standard materials, and the default material option is now an Autodesk Physical Material. These materials cannot be exported to FBX or OBJ files, so they will not appear in Prospect. A workaround you can use to export these materials is to convert them to Scanline Standard materials.
Software platforms write to OBJ files in different ways, so you may experience varying performance or need to take different steps when exporting from third party software. In some cases, you may find that loading your OBJ file into software that Prospect is natively integrated with, such as Rhino, and then launching through our add-in will produce superior results and allow you to better maintain the fidelity of your OBJ file.
Follow these steps in order to successfully produce an OBJ and MTL file that works with IrisVR Prospect with 3ds Max.
1. Before exporting, create a new folder on your computer where you will save the OBJ and texture files. Open Asset Tracking in 3ds Max.
2. Select all of the Full Paths under Maps / Shaders and right click to open a Menu
3. Select 'Make Path Relative to Project Folder'
4. Exit out of Asset Tracking
5. Select Export
4. Select OBJ in the dropdown and name your file
5. Make sure the options look like below
6. Select Map-Export and make sure 'Use map-path' is unchecked.
7. Maintain the format as JPG
8. Select Export. The resulting folder should look something like this, with the various textures used in your file visible as images:
9. Drag and Drop your file into Prospect and launch!
You may experience incompatibility when using the layers function with an OBJ file, in which case we recommend using a native file format.


Nullx is audio/video/subtitle transcoding server
C++ Python CMake
Nullx is a transcoding server which converts input audio/video files (with multiple tracks) into h264/aac/mov_text format and optionally uploads resulted files into elliptics storage.
Nullx spawns a pool of processes using ribosome::fpool each one transcodes media file using ffmpeg. If process crashes it will be automatically restarted.
Transcoding is asynchronous, server will reply to client after it is completed. If elliptics upload options are not specified in the request, server will send transcoded file to client in reply.
Server config options
tmp_dir - temporal directory where input and resulted files are stored during transcoding. transcoding_workers - number of transcoding processes, default value is 16.
Elliptics upload options
If request contains following headers, transcoded file will not be returned to client but instead will be written into elliptics.
X-Ell-Groups - groups in the format 1:2:3 where transcoded file should be written. X-Ell-ID - hex ID (128 bytes, if less, the rest will be filled with zeroes) of the key to upload. Alternatively you can specify X-Ell-Bucket and X-Ell-Key - bucket (namespace)/key pair of the key which will be used to upload transcoded file into elliptics.
Also you can specify additional metadata headers, which will force server to upload some metadata of the transcoded file into elliptics. X-Ell-Metadata-Groups - groups in the format 1:2:3 where metadata for transcoded file should be written.

Work in progress:
In this paper we develop a theoretical model to investigate the effect on a bank's financial stability of having multiple contingent convertible bonds buffers (CoCos) on the same bank balance sheet, using cash-in-the-market pricing and global games methodologies. Contingent convertible bonds are meant to act as a bail-in mechanism for banks, where CoCo debt converts into equity when a bank needs it the most. We find that having CoCo buffers which trigger at different capitalisation levels can be detrimental for the CoCo bail-in capacity. Market-based triggers lead to premature conversion and fire-sales of equity. In contrast with existing literature, we show that book-based trigger CoCos yield an optimal outcome, as long as they incorporate expected credit losses.
Risk-Taking, Competition and Uncertainty. Do CoCo Bonds Increase the Risk Appetite of Banks?
(joint with Mahmoud Fatouh, Bank of England, and Sweder van Wijnbergen, UvA)
We assess the impact of contingent convertible (CoCo) bonds and the wealth transfers they imply conditional on conversion on risk-taking behaviour of the issuing bank. We also test for regulatory arbitrage: do banks by issuing CoCos try to maintain risk taking incentives when regulators reduce them by insisting on higher capitalization ratios? While we test for and reject sample selection bias, we show that CoCo bonds issuance has a strong positive effect on risk-taking behaviour, and so do conversion parameters that reduce dilution of existing shareholders upon conversion. Higher volatility amplifies the impact of CoCos on risk taking.

(Santa Ana, CA)—When Rancho Santiago Community College District (RSCCD) Trustees visits the Santa Ana College Early Childhood Education Center on December 15, they will read aloud to children, who are students at the lab school. Following the reading, they will visit classrooms and present a gift book to each child. Included with that book will be a card which includes the following tips for reading aloud to children for parents:
- Read to children from birth-short board books are best for babies.
- Take children to the library or store to choose a book.
- Find a quiet comfortable place to read-make sure your child can see the pictures.
- Select books with great pictures and rhyming words to engage children.
- Read a variety of books, but repeat favorites.
- Use enthusiasm and expression when reading-use sounds and gestures.
- Explain some new words that your child may not have heard before.
- Alter stories by putting in your child's name.
- Read slowly to allow children to build a mental picture of the story.
- Encourage children to turn the pages of the book.
- Ask question and have children make predictions about the story.
- Limit the amount of time your children watch television; read to a child instead.
- Read every day to children—make reading a habit!
These additional resources will also be provided for parents:
For more information, please contact Janneth Linnell, RSCCD director of Child Development Services at _EMAIL_ or _PHONE_.

text: We present a detailed experimental study of the pressure and density of N-2-Ar mixtures at 0 degrees C, 25.0 degrees C and 50.0 degrees C with four different mixtures at each temperature. The pressures are measured with a dead-weight tester. The densities are determined from knowledge of the precise volume and weight measurement of the mixtures. Statistical analysis of the experimental data yielded very precise values for the second and third density virial coefficients. Finally experimentally determined virial coefficients are compared with those calculated on the basis of statistical mechanics. The maximum percentage deviation between experimental and theoretical second virial coefficients is about 10% and that between third virial coefficients is less than 1%.

As we increasingly rely on digital payment methods, keeping track of transactions can be a daunting task. Fortunately, Apple has made it easier for users to monitor their expenses by introducing Apple Pay. This contactless payment system offers a seamless and secure way to make purchases.
However, to gain even more control over your financial data, you can import Apple Pay transactions into a spreadsheet or a financial tracking app. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of setting up Shortcut Automations to import your Apple Pay transactions, allowing you to take charge of your financial records with ease.
Before diving into the intricacies of importing Apple Pay transactions, let's briefly discuss what Apple Pay is. Apple Pay is a digital payment service offered by Apple that allows users to make secure transactions using their iPhones, Apple Watches, iPads, or Macs. Instead of using physical credit or debit cards, users can link their cards to Apple Pay, making payments with just a tap or a glance.
You might be wondering, "Why should I bother exporting my Apple Pay transactions?" Well, there are several compelling reasons:
While Apple Pay provides a convenient way to pay for goods and services, it has limitations when it comes to transaction history. Apple Pay typically stores transaction data for a limited time, which may not be sufficient for users who want to maintain comprehensive financial records.
By exporting your Apple Pay transactions, you gain the ability to generate detailed financial reports. This can be especially useful for budgeting, tax purposes, or simply gaining insights into your spending habits.
Importing your Apple Pay transactions into a spreadsheet or financial tracking app allows you to consolidate all your financial data in one place. This unified experience makes it easier to manage your finances holistically.
Exporting your transaction data gives you more control over your financial information. You can choose how and where your data is stored and who has access to it, enhancing your privacy and security.
Now that we've established the benefits of exporting your Apple Pay transactions, let's get started with the process. We'll cover how to import to Numbers (Apple's spreadsheet application).
Numbers is a versatile spreadsheet application available on Apple devices. Follow these steps to import your Apple Pay transactions into Numbers:
Open Numbers and create a new document where you'll import your Apple Pay transactions.
Shortcut Automations is a powerful tool in iOS that allows you to automate tasks. To set up an automation to import your Apple Pay transactions:
- Open the Shortcuts app on your device.
- Create a new shortcut by tapping the "+" button.
- Use the "Get Latest Apple Pay Transactions" action to fetch your recent transactions.
- Add actions to format the data as needed, such as splitting transaction details into separate columns.
- Use the "Add Row to Table" action to add each transaction to your Numbers spreadsheet.
- Set the automation to run at your desired interval (e.g., daily, weekly, or monthly).
With your transactions imported, you can customize your Numbers spreadsheet to suit your financial tracking needs. You can add categories, create charts, and generate reports based on your imported data.
Importing your Apple Pay transactions into a spreadsheet or financial tracking app is a practical way to gain better control over your finances. Whether you choose to use Numbers for a straightforward solution or MoneyCoach for a more comprehensive financial management experience, taking the time to set up these import processes can be immensely beneficial in the long run. By doing so, you'll be better equipped to make informed financial decisions and achieve your financial goals. So, get started today and take charge of your financial future with Apple Pay transactions import!

Can anyone tell me why do I have attribute table text on my layers in ArcMap 10 and how I can get rid of those texts? I have no idea when the texts appeared into my workspace. I have been digitizing and copying and pasting polygons from layer to another. However, the texts seems not to be part of any layer because they stay on the screen even I chance the visibility of all my layers.
Printscreen-picture of my view

Open a new mxd to where you drag your layers one by one. Then you can narrow down which layer the text is associated to, if any. You don't seem to have overly many layers, so shouldn't be too time consuming. – Martin Feb 12 '14 at 8:47
Thanks for the tip! That solved it! The text was not part of any layer (like I assumed) and didn't appear in the new mxd. – Blueridge Feb 12 '14 at 8:59
2 Answers 2
The text you see is the result of Paste operation. The most likely reason for that is that you had either created a report in ArcMap or copied rows from Attribute table by using Copy (or just Ctrl-C shortcut). This piece of data was stored in your operation system clipboard and when you were trying to copy/paste a layer in the table of contents or a feature, you have pasted what you had latest in the clipboard which were those rows.
You will likely be able to select this object by using the Select Elements tool on the Standard toolbar and then delete it.

+1 I think you've nailed the steps that would have led to the symptom seen. – PolyGeo Feb 12 '14 at 9:55
Not knowing the history of this map it is not possible to be certain, but from the description of what solved it, I would say that you were seeing Graphic Text that was created in your map at some point in time.
There is an Online Hep Page entitled Essential annotation and graphic text concepts that may be worth reviewing if you want to know more about Graphic Text (and Annotation).
If they are Graphic Text then they should be selectable for deletion (with the Delete key) by using Edit | Select All Elements.
share|improve this answer
Thank you all! The texts were indeed Graphic Text. I pasted some texts again for testing and I was able to delete the texts by Edit | Select All Elements (and Delete key). Much easier than dragging all layers to new mxd! – Blueridge Feb 13 '14 at 13:46

Statue of the Virgin Mary to be moved behind a school in France
A statue of the Virgin Mary, that is in the yard of a primary school in the department of Isere, France, will now be placed behind the building so that the children will no longer see it. According to the leaders, this move is necessary to respect the laicity law of 1905.
The statue was erected in the middle of the twentieth century, before the building of the school. The then owner of the property commissioned the statue after he was convinced that he saw the virgin appear at the river of the town.
After his death, a public school was built on the property, but the statue stayed in its place. Later, in the 1990s, the school leaders decided to move the statue to a less frequented spot, next to the building. They used the laicity law of 1905 to justify their actions. According to them, the statue's presence would be justified in a private school, whereas it violates religion's liberty in a public school.
And now, thirty years later, the statue is to be transferred again, to a still less frequented place, behind the school building, so that the children cannot see it, thus respecting their liberty of conscience.

Is finding a solution for a problem in a given context is an attempt to find a solution for the problem in another context?
For example, it seems some of the hardest problems of real analysis were not solved till their solutions were found in the context of geometry.
Update: I think it makes the question more clear if I provide an example. Let's say I want to prove if x+y=x+z, then y=z, where x,y,z $\in F$, where $F$ is a an algebraic field with operation "+". For example for this problem I can think of context where solution exits and that would be the ring of integers. If 1+2=2+1 then I can show 1=1. Now once this solution is found using this context of integers I can now apply this to the original problem in the context of field.
Now what I was asking was that should such a solution exists in some contexts (context as used in example above) for a problem to be solvable.
I do not know the background science behind this but it would be great if references can be introduced so I can get to know the right terminology.
 - 1
 It may help to rephrase the question a bit. At the moment, it looks almost trivial: if a problem has no solution in any context – i.e., not anywhere – then it has no solution. Presumably, that's not what you're getting at, though; so, it would help if you could expand on what you mean by 'context', and on what it takes to have a solution in a context. Constructivists hold that you can't prove 'There's such-and-such a number', except by producing a number that indeed is such-and-such. (In particular, you can't prove it by contradiction.) Is your question related to that viewpoint in any way? – MarkOxford Nov 12 '17 at 13:47
 - Do you mean : 'Is the non-solvability of a problem in any context in a given domain an indication that its solution, if any, is to be found in a context in a different domain?' E.g., does the non-solvabilty of a problem in theology indicate that its solution - or dissolution - belongs to physics? – Geoffrey Thomas Nov 12 '17 at 14:22
 - _USER_ By a context I mean something like a domain and by domain I mean something that contains similar objects. For example, an algebraic filed is a domain where objects existing in it share certain characteristic. I think Geoffrey Thomas comment is very close to what I want. – Mathnewbie Nov 12 '17 at 19:52
 - _USER_ Yes very close to what I want but a solution to a non-solvable problem of theology could exist in physics or any other domain that has not been yet explored or discovered. Of course the domain must have certain characteristics for example there should exist a one-to-one correspondence between the objects of the two domains. – Mathnewbie Nov 12 '17 at 19:55
 - I suppose I still don't really understand the question. If a problem has no solution in any domain, then where would the solution be? Are there sets that aren't domains, because their elements aren't similar enough to one another? Or is the idea that there are 'meta-domains' or 2nd-order domains? If we find no solution in any of the 1st-order domains of a particular 2nd-order domain, then we might move on to a different 2nd-order domain and look through its 1st-order domains for a solution. – MarkOxford Nov 12 '17 at 21:00
To answer the second part of your question 'it seems that the solution was found and then the question answered' Yes, that is the way it's done most of the time because it is much simpler once you know the outcome. You can simply do Sherlock Holmes eliminate all the impossible until all you're left with is the possible. And that would be a good approach I would say it is a better way than how scientists handle problems today. They did not eliminate the possible they actually attempted to explain reality with the possible even though it is impossible, such as dark energy and basically everything else in science
If a problem is worth having, it can be solved. You seem to be talking about how new techniques have been needed to solve seemingly insoluble problems, like say Fermat's last theorem.
There seem to be mistakes in tense or spelling that make your question confusing, and I am struggling to understand what you are actually asking.
It puts me in mind of how for Newton it was essential to put his theorems and proofs in geometric forms, as geometry was considered most fundamental of maths by the Greeks. Even though, this was difficult and awkward to do and made it harder to see the implications of what he did. Soon after geometry lost it's'supremacy'.
To what extent does the world divide cleanly into distinct contexts? In the end isn't there only one context, our minds, which unify all contexts? We switch language-game to adapt to each
If I correctly understand your mathematical example, then mathematics provides many examples of the following type:
A problem has no solution in the context, where the problem is stated. But the problem has a solution in a broader context.
For example take the problem:
1) Find all solutions of the quadratic equation x^2+1=0.
The problem is stated in the context of real numbers. But the problem has no real solutions. Instead the problem has two solution, namely +i and -i, from the context of complex numbers.
2) Similarly, take the problem: Find all solutions of the quadratic equation x^2-2=0. The problem has no solution in the rational numbers, but it has two solutions in the real numbers.

It's starting to look like one of the commonly repeated facts about Hum hearers might be incorrect. My initial statistics were confirmed: the mean and median age for Hum Hearers is 40 years of age, with a standard deviation of 14 years. The data is distributed pretty much normally, which means there are roughly equal numbers of Hearers younger than 40 as there are hearers over 40. Because the standard deviation is 14 years, this means that roughly 2/3 of Hearers are between 26 and 54.

text: Nicotine salt is the natural form of nicotine found in tobacco leaves. Nicotine derived from tobacco leaves is slightly acidic with a pH of approximately 5. However, the most commonly used form of nicotine in e-liquids is called freebase nicotine. Freebase nicotine is slightly basic with a pH of approximately 8. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 where lower pH values indicate a more acidic substance, while higher pH values indicate a more basic substance. The chemical process for making the nicotine derived from tobacco leaves more basic is called de-protonation. This is the process that turns a natural nicotine extract into a freebase nicotine extract.

- Aggregate and Household Demand for Money: Evidence from Public Opinion Survey on Household Financial Assets and Liabilities
- Hiroshi Fujiki, Cheng Hsiao
- #001997 20131014 (published) Views:85
- We use data from Public Opinion Surveys on Household Financial Assets and Liabilities from 1991 to 2002 to investigate the issues of unobserved heterogeneity among cross-sectional units and stability of Japanese aggregate money demand function. Conditions that permit individual data and aggregate data to be modeled under one consistent format are given. Alternative definitions of money are explored through year-by-year cross-sectional estimates of Fujiki-Mulligan (1996) household money demand model. We find that using M3 appears to be broadly consistent with time series estimates using the aggregates constructed from the micro data. The results appear to support the existence of a stable money demand function for Japan. The estimated income elasticity for M3 is about 0.68 and five year bond interest rate elasticity is about -0.124.

Investing in transportation stocks
The transportation industry tends to perform well in strong economies, but other volatile sectors can force it to make sharp turns.
Open a Stock Trading Account Compare Brokers
Transportation Stocks & ETFs Jump to List
Investing in the transportation industry is a great way to diversify your portfolio across several industries including airlines, railroads and trucking. But because it's tied to several external industries including oil and gas, transportation stocks can be very volatile.
Government regulations can also deliver a major impact. So can world events like the coronavirus, which rattled the transportation industry in 2020.
What are transportation stocks?
Transportation stocks are part of various companies that move people, products and goods all over the world by land, sea or air. They make up a diverse industry containing several different types of companies including:
 - Airlines
 - Air freight companies
 - Trucking firms
 - Railroads
 - Marine shipping companies
 - Logistics companies
 - Service providers that help transportation firms such as airport operators and marine ports
The transportation industry is a big part of everyday life. Transportation companies get you to where you need to go, food to your supermarket and clothes to your local stores.
Why invest in transportation stocks?
In a global economy, people need to move goods, services and talent around. This is where the transportation industry comes in. And because a vast number of companies are involved, transportation stocks can be seen as clear avenues to portfolio diversification.
The transportation industry is part of the wider industrial sector. That's why its performance is strongly tied to the state of the overall economy. These companies tend to perform well under robust economic conditions.
This performance can be an indicator that businesses are gaining speed and moving goods and services around to meet demand. But the transportation industry can be highly speculative and hard to predict.
Risks of investing in transportation stocks
Because the transportation industry is so vast, transportation stocks can be affected by the performance of several other sectors. For instance, transportation companies rely heavily on fuel to get the job done. That includes everything from diesel to jet fuel.
If fuel prices rise, so can the costs for different transportation companies. That in turn can cut profits as well as stock prices. An active investor may not benefit from transportation stocks in a difficult economy.
Moreover, trade disputes between countries can severely affect the movement of goods and people from one place to another – along with the companies responsible for making this movement happen. Government regulations can have the same effect.
Government regulations fueled by COVID-19 changed the transportation industry in 2020. Cities around the globe limited transportation services, placed travel restrictions and implemented social distancing mandates. This severely affected the movement of people, and companies like airlines suffered.
A study published on Statista says, "For the week starting November 9, 2020, the number of scheduled flights worldwide was down by 46.5 percent compared to the week of November 11, 2019."
With uncertainty surrounding the state of COVID-19 restrictions as well as medical advances, the pandemic's future impact on the transportation industry remains uncertain. A report by Deloitte even went as far as to say, "Commuting and traveling patterns may not recover to their pre–COVID-19 state once lockdowns are lifted."
Transportation stocks
With an industry as widespread as transportation, there are many stocks to choose from. Here is a brief list of your investment options.
What ETFs track the transportation category?
You don't need to limit your investments in transportation to stocks. You can also buy shares of exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, which invest in diversified baskets of transportation of stocks. Here are some examples:
 - S&P Transportation ETF (NYSEArca: XTN)
 - iShares Transportation Average ETF (BATS: IYT)
 - First Trust Nasdaq Transportation ETF (NasdaqGM: FTXR)
 - Direxion Daily Transportation Bull 3X Shares (NYSEArca: TPOR)
 - SPDR S&P Kensho Smart Mobility ETF (NYSEArca: HAIL)
 - U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSEArca: JETS)

Frequently asked questions
Are pipeline stocks part of transportation stocks?
Technically, no. Even though pipelines transport resources like natural gas and crude oil, pipeline stocks are energy stocks.
Are there transportation stock mutual funds?
Yes. Examples include the Fidelity Select Transportation Portfolio (Nasdaq: FSRFX) and the Rydex Transportation Fund (Nasdaq: RYTSX).

Monte Carlo Simulation of Line-of-Sight Distance Measurements
This Monte Carlo simulation of line-of-sight distance measurement is based on the small angle formula (SAF), which has two arguments: (1) measured width of a reference object, and (2) measured angular diameter of the reference object from the standpoint of the observer. In this example, the reference object is 5 feet in diameter; its measurement errors are normally distributed with a mean of 5 feet and 0.95 quantile of feet. The angular diameter of the reference object from the observer's standpoint is ; its measurement errors are triangularly distributed with limits of. One hundred pseudorandom argument sets based on those distributions are mapped to the SAF and scatter-plotted using their 0.9 ellipsoid quantile against a set of SAF results. The correlation plots indicate that these results are loosely correlated with the measured reference object width and highly correlated with the measured angular diameter.
