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.

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)

Bottom line
Investing in transportation stocks can be a lucrative way to diversify your portfolio. But strains in the overall economy can derail the transportation industry.
Do your due diligence as an investor when considering transportation stocks, especially in the midst of COVID-19. Also compare your brokerage options before you begin trading stocks.

A Personal Injury Attorney in Las Vegas NV can Help if You're Assaulted by a Bouncer
Spread the love
5928572_lMany people aren't sure what bouncers can legally do. Contrary to the way they appear in movies and on TV, bouncers cannot use excessive violence or act as they please. Generally, a bouncer can only respond with force if someone else is acting aggressively toward them. However, they can legally do things such as:
1. Give a verbal warning
2. Ask a patron to leave
3. Check IDs
4. Refuse entry to a patron that isn't following policy, is acting aggressively, or is too intoxicated
5. Call police
6. Protect bystanders from violence
7. Break up fights
8. Respond with appropriate force
Good bouncers are trained to solve problems through communication, not force. In many cases, the presence of a bouncer is enough to keep patrons well-behaved.
What is Against the Rules for Bouncers?
A bouncer cannot use force unless they are threatened with physical harm, and cannot strike, punch or kick patrons. They cannot physically throw or push someone out of an establishment, and cannot restrain a patron with a headlock or choke hold.
In other words, a bouncer is subject to the same personal injury and criminal laws as everyone else. If you have been roughly handled without cause, you may be able to sue the bouncer or hold them criminally liable.
How to React if Wrongfully Assaulted by a Bouncer
If you feel that you have a case against a bouncer and/or an establishment, you and your Personal Injury Lawyer In Las Vegas NV may be able to get monetary damages for the losses you've suffered. You should take these steps:
1. Write down your version of events, noting times, dates and the location. Describe the incident, the circumstances that led to the assault and the events occurring immediately afterward.
2. Keep copies of medical records and receipts. You'll need these if the court needs to determine damages.
3. Keep copies of your paycheck stubs in case you need to file for wage loss.
4. Get copies of police reports.
5. Get the bouncer's contact information, as well as that of any witnesses.
Hiring an Attorney for a Legal Dispute Involving a Bouncer
Some businesses need the presence of a bouncer to deter certain activities. However, they have much less authority than most people think. If you're uncertain as to what a bouncer can legally do, contact a Personal Injury Lawyer In Las Vegas NV for help. Your lawyer can represent you in court, and he or she can get you the damages you deserve.

In the Fresh-r, heat recovery runs via the copper, which conducts heat 1000x better than plastic, resulting in a thermal yield of 90 % at 60 m³ per hour, 87% at 80 m³ per hour and 84% at 120 m³ per hour.
The Fresh-r ventilation is balanced. This means that the same amount of air is blown into your residence as is blown out. These air flows do not touch each other. But they do go through the same heat exchanger. That heat exchanger contains a mat of fine woven copper wire. If the air is warmer than the copper wire, then the heat from that air flows through the copper. If the air is colder than the copper wire, then the heat flows from the copper to the air. If it's 20° inside and 0° outside, then the air blown into the interior is 18°. And this efficiency does not decrease as the heat exchanger gets older because the copper wire is coated.

Jelly Mould Pavilions
27 March - 6 June 2010
'Jelly Mould Pavilions' is a quirky yet thought provoking exhibition by artist Lubaina Himid. The exhibition explores the challenges of commemorating the ongoing contribution of the people of the African diaspora to the history, culture and fabric of Liverpool.
'Jelly Mould Pavilions' features 30 hand-painted Victorian ceramic jelly moulds and 14 prints. The illustrations on the jelly moulds are inspired by influential Black figures such as Martin Luther King, William Still and Dred Scott, all strong and unique figures in the civil rights movement. Lubaina's inspiration also comes from brightly coloured textile patterns from all over the African continent.
Although these jelly mould monuments may never be built, their purpose is to encourage visitors to ask questions about the city's history, how we can celebrate and commemorate the Black community or whether we do this already.
Lubaina chose Victorian jelly moulds as they symbolise the African diaspora's link to the sugar industry that used slaves. The jelly moulds are a device to encourage visitors to talk about enslavement, commerce and pleasure.
Jelly mould interventions!
As well as the main exhibition at Sudley House there will be jelly mould interventions in the following venues:
You can see all the venues on the map below. Select a blue pin to find out about each location. You can view a larger version of the map here.

Dog with Oronasal Fistula Repair
An oronasal fistula is an opening between the oral and nasal cavities that most commonly results from the extraction of a diseased upper canine tooth. The canine teeth are the long sharp teeth found at the anterior corners of the mouth on either side of the front incisor teeth. In this image you can see that the dental probe demonstrates a deep pocket of infection around the base of this canine tooth. It needs to be extracted. In some dogs with infected canine teeth the infection is so bad that it destroys the bone at the base of the tooth and once the tooth is extracted it leaves a hole or fistula between the oral and nasal cavities (an oronasal fistula). To prevent infection this needs to be covered up with a gingival flap. (see dental case August 2008)
Sometimes the gingival flap does not 'take' properly leaving a small oronasal fistula even after healing is completed as is seen in this image. In this case a new flap is required. Why is this important? -so that food material does not get trapped in this opening that would lead to both a local gum infection and a nasal infection leading to a runny nose.
In image 1, Dr. Fisher is using a scalpel blade to freshen the edges around the fistula and to create a new flap. Next a Freer elevator is used to raise the flap away from underlying bone (image 2).
Next, the fistula space is filled with Consil®, a synthetic bone graft particulate that encourages new bone formation.
Consil application is followed by suturing of the gum (gingival) flap to the surrounding gum tissue in order to cover the fistula.
The finished product! All sutures have been placed and the oronasal fistula is covered. This flap of gum tissue adhered well this time and healing was complete, thus preventing a possible source of chronic infection in the mouth and nasal passage.

At the Eurogamer Expo today Alex Hutchinson and Jonathan Cooper from Ubisoft Montreal answered the question on the lips of every fan of Russia or Japan: 'why America?'
"In looking for a suitable setting for AC we look for times that have been a turning point in history, and a time and place most gamers haven't been," explained Alex. "Many gamers have been to America, but not in the 18th century."
The pair talked about the themes of the American Revolution and how they synced perfectly with those of the Assassin/Templar feud - liberty or death, power vs slavery, control vs freedom. They had also noted that players liked interacting with Leonardo da Vinci in previous games because he was a known name, and the revolution offered plenty of those.
It was also important, as they explained, to make Connor be stuck in the middle - not king & country, not Mel Gibson from The Patriot. So a Native American was chosen. (they also noted how difficult it was to find a Native American actor who hadn't been in Twilight) They finally noted to the very British audience that AC3 was not about the Revolution, it was merely as a backdrop to their own story, and that everyone is actually British in the game "until the end" - perhaps hinting the game will finish on July 4th perhaps?

I am trying to learn loops and array manipulation in zsh.
Say I have two arrays in zsh with the same unknown # of elements and each of them containing a list of paths, e.g.
I would like to iterate through both arrays simultaneously with a common index, so that I can do something like:
hg pull $REMOTE_PATH_i
in each iteration. How can I do this in zsh?
Also, I have searched for loop control and arrays in the zsh documentation but had little success. Is there a good tutorial that introduces the basics of loops, arrays, etc. in zsh? Something for people with little bash or shell-scripting experience but with a background in programming?

Section 15.2.1 "Array Subscripts" says that arrays can be index with [exp] (where exp is a numeric expression) and that elements start at index 1 (0 if KSH_ARRAYS is set).
Section 14.3 "Parameter Expansion" says that the syntax ${_TAG_} will expand to the number of elements of an array.
Section 6.3 "Complex Commands" gives the syntax for a numeric for loop (as in C):
for (( initExpr ; testExpr ; stepExpr )) do … done.
Putting them all together:
for (( i = 1; i <= $_TAG_; i++ )) do
 ( # subshell to contain the effect of the chdir
 cd $LOCAL_PATH[i]
 hg pull $REMOTE_PATH[i]
Or, if you are using KSH_ARRAYS, then this:
for (( i = 0; i < ${_TAG_[*]}; i++ )) do
 ( # subshell to contain the effect of the chdir
 cd ${LOCAL_PATH[i]}
 hg pull ${REMOTE_PATH[i]}
Using KSH_ARRAYS makes arrays start with index 0, requires the use of braces for array expressions, and interprets $array as $array[0] (requiring a change to the array length expression). The syntax changes required by KSH_ARRAY will also work without KSH_ARRAY, but you still have to adjust the logic for the different index range (1 through N versus 0 through N-1).

What Are Counts Per Minute in Radioactivity?
When you get a Geiger counter and are learning how to use it, you'll need to know about CPM, which is the counts per minute that you'll see displayed on the analog meter in addition to the corresponding level of radiation. You might sometimes see counts per second, or CPS, instead, or you can easily convert from CPM to CPS if you'd like by dividing your CPM value by 60. So what is the CPM reading all about?
How Does CPM Work?
The counts per minute measurements are generally used to pick up the number of particles around, which could include alpha or beta particles. A different level of measurement tends to be used for rays, including gamma rays and X-rays.
Instead of showing how much radiation something is giving off, the CPM radiation levels tell how many detection events the meter picks up. So the CPM amount doesn't show you the amount or strength of the radiation. The device that you're using to measure radiation can then also tell you the dose rate, although the conversion from CPM to dose rate will vary based on your specific device and some other factors, such as the kind of radiation. A Geiger meter uses energy compensation to create a reading of the dose.
While the measuring rate is "counts per minute," the device often takes a sample from less time than the full minute and then determines what the total would be for the minute based on that sample.
What Does the CPM Value Mean?
Once you get your CPM reading from your device, you then need to figure out what that reading means. What are normal radiation levels CPM and what are dangerous ones? If you have your Geiger counter calibrated to Cs137, which most are, 1 milliRad per hour would equate to 1,200 CPM on your counter. At the same time, 1 microSievert per hour would equate to 120 CPM on the reading. These are more universal units of measurement that can help you better understand your radiation exposure.
A CPM reading of at least 100 is considered a warning level by the Radiation Network, although the length of time you're exposed to the radiation is an important factor. If you're concerned about staying within safe radiation levels, Ken Jorgustin explains on the Modern Survival Blog that it would take 432 days at a CPM of 100 to up your chance of getting cancer to odds of 1 in 1,000. At higher exposure rates, it would take less time. For instance, it would only take four days to increase your rate to those odds if you're exposed to a level of 10,000 CPM.
When you use a Geiger Mueller detector, you'll be able to easily see the counts per minute of radiation in a certain area. This can help you understand more about your environment and your exposure.

Our Man Made Limestone
At Old World Stoneworks we fabricate our man-made limestone to emulate Indiana limestone also known as Bedford limestone, recognized to be the highest quality quarried limestone in the United States. Using a man-made limestone is a cost-effective alternative to natural limestone while still maintaining the inherit characteristics.
To make our limestone we use a dry mixture of finely grated aggregates and silica sand mixed with a bonding and hardening agent. We then put this mixture through a mulling machine where it is mixed with water in a forming process which makes it equally as durable and dense as natural limestone.

11 reasons for the Price difference in Bellota hams
We can find Iberian jamón de bellota for less than €40/kg and for more than €400/kg. It's a huge difference which is not justified solely by the quality of the final product, but a combination of different factors.
1. Breed
Better quality Pata Negra hams come from 100% Iberian pigs, which cost to raise is significantly higher than cross-breeds. They fatten a lot slower, they produce smaller hams and the litters are smaller in number.
2. Food on the farm
Iberian pigs on a farm
Iberian pigs on a farm, a few days before going to the pasture to start the montanera period (free-range grazing)
From weaning until it is driven to the mountain, the animal spends a few months on a farm, where it is fed on a diet of fodder. The pig can't go from drinking the milk of its mother one day to eating acorns the next; it needs time to adapt. One example is what we do with human babies. Once they stop weaning we slowly begin to introduce baby food (cereals and fruit), alternating them with a bottle. This goes on for several weeks until the baby is ready to try other foods such as fish and meat, and later on dried fruits and nuts, etc.
Returning to animal food, there are many prices that are dependent on the quality of the raw material and the combination of cereals and other nutrients in the formula.
3. Age and weight on entering the montanera phase
The law sets minimum conditions for the age and weight to be able to label a ham "de bellota":
 - The weight on beginning the montanera phase should be between 92 and 115 kg.
 - During the montanera phase they should be fattened at least 46 kg on a diet of acorns and grass.
 - The minimum age at slaughter is 14 months.
 - The minimum individual carcass weight (after removal of the skin, head and viscera) is 115 kg, except for 100% Iberian animals, in which case the minimum is 108 kg.
Thus, a producer who meets the minimum legal requirements is able to sell hams with a lower production cost than those who are significantly above the threshold, at the expense of quality, of course.
4. Duration of the montanera period
The Royal Decree 4/2014 rules that the pig must spend a minimum of 2 months in the pasture, but there are farmers who extend this by 1 or 2 months, or more. In some cases pigs are given 2 montanera periods. That is, when acorn season is over, they are brought back to the farm until the next season, when they will eat more acorns again.
The longer the montanera period is, the more acorns are eaten and the more exercise undertaken, and so the Pata Negra will be of a higher quality. But this comes with a cost: the shepherds and vets must work more, and the number of casualties among the pigs rises as a result of illness, theft or attacks from other wildlife that inhabit the mountain. Furthermore, the jamón will need more months of maturation, because the quality of the fat would be higher and so the oxidation would be slower.
5. Quality of the montanera
Iberian pigs eating acorns in the pasture
Iberian pigs eating acorns in the pasture
It's not the fair to put 50 pigs in a pasture of 500 hectares, the same as you would put 100 in the same amount of space. They'd get half the amount of acorns.
Naturally the law limits the density of animals per square metre, and the density of oaks. Therefore manufacturers need to hire an inspection company to certify that their pastures are compliant. But even within the legal limits there are some producers who are closer to the minimum than others.
The quality and quantity of acorns is not the same at all times nor in all pastures. Pigs are very selective and will find the best acorns first, the biggest and sweetest, which are the major contributors to the overall quality of the hams and sausages.
6. Organic vs. Conventional
Undoubtedly one of the aspects that most influences the final price is the condition of organic ham. The limitation in pharmacological treatments raises the mortality of pigs, the absence of preservatives makes many hams spoil before being sold and the cost of the feed is much higher. We must also add the costs of certification and control of the authorities.
Production of organic Iberico ham in Spain is negligible; we only have half a dozen small producers.
7. Maturation period
Hams curing in the cellar
Hams curing in the cellar
A Jamón de bellota loses between 8% and 10% of its weight each year that it's hanging in the cellar (between 7% and 9% in the shoulders). Basically what you lose is water. Thus, if the sale comes within 2 years instead of 3, we can reduce its price by about 10% while maintaining the same margin.
Not surprisingly the quality is not the same. One extra year of maturation brings new aromas, a more intense flavour and easier cutting.
8. Salt
Excess salt, besides being harmful to health also hides a lot of the flavours of ham. Consumers tend to prefer sweeter and softer Iberian hams, especially in recent times.
But what happens if we fall short of salt? Well, two things can happen:
 1. The meat contaminates and rots (salt is the main preservative), or
 2. The muscle tissue loses consistency and flavour. It's what people in the business call jamón chicloso (gummy ham).
Thus, those manufacturers who strive to minimize the concentration of salt to get better tasting hams know they will have to throw out some pieces. Consequently, they'll have to sell the others at a higher price to compensate for these losses.
9. Brand
Prestige, exclusivity and advertising campaigns have a direct effect on the selling price.
In 2006 Cárnicas Maldonado launched a special series of €1500 hams called Alba Quercus (renamed Albarragena). Others followed such as Joselito with his Vintage series at €2000 and Jamones Premium by Arturo Sánchez at €4.000… Logically the series don't last very long; the hams are really good but the price per kg hardly justifies the final quality. In fact, they are often instruments for marketing campaigns.
On the other hand, manufacturers with strong brands know that customers are willing to pay a little more for the security that comes with their name and reputation.
10. Commerce
A ham of the same brand can be found at very different prices between one store and another. Not everyone works with the same margins. It's also possible to lower the price of the ham but end up paying for the service: high delivery costs, very restrictive return policy, poor customer service…
The country where the trade is largely determines the final price. Some manufacturers require sellers to buy the product to the official importer only, and therefore the prices are usually much higher than in its place of origin or in a more competitive environment.
11. Time of year in which the purchase is made
The price of ham is usually quite stable throughout the year, although there may be periods of shortages that drive up the price. It happens, for example, when a manufacturer has exhausted the pieces of a campaign and the next lot are still a little tender.
The additives in Pata Negra ham
Until recently, what worried consumers most was the salt content of cured ham. WHO (World Health Organisation) recommends consuming a maximum of 5g per day (even less in children and adolescents) to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, although the world average of between 9 and 12g is more than double.
These days it seems that other additives used by most manufacturers generate more fear or distrust in consumers: preservatives, antioxidants, acidity regulators … This article will try to explain why they are used and what the associated health risks are.

Salt (photo by Gregory Bourolias)
Salt is the oldest known preservative and without it meat would rot. It's also a flavour enhancer: we tend to find that ham with less than 2.5% salt is tasteless and with an unpleasant texture.
Pata negra ham (jamón ibérico) has the least salt content of them all (between 2.5% to 4.5%). It's followed by Serrano ham (5%), Bayonne ham (5.5%) and Parma ham (5.7%). Credit goes to genetics in this case: the marbling fat and higher pH level in Iberico hams hinders the penetration of the salt.
When compared with other types of products, it would be at the same level as Roquefort cheese or olives.
As we mentioned in the introduction, it's been proven that excess salt increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (hypertension, heart attacks, etc.) but it's also thought to cause kidney failure and osteoporosis.
The most commonly used preservatives are potassium nitrate (E-250) and sodium nitrite (E-252). Nitrates and nitrites have been used for hundreds of years and play an important role in ensuring the microbiological safety (especially protecting consumers from botulism) of foodstuffs.

HTML Factors
Time to first byte:
Time to first byte is a analysis which is the marker of the receptiveness of a webserver or the other network resource.
TTFB measures the time from the client requesting an HTTP request to the very initial byte of the webpage being received by the client's browser.
This time is made up of the socket connection time, the time taken to answer or send the HTTP request, and the time to get the initial byte of the web-page. It should not be mistaken as a after-DNS calculations
The main key aspects of TTFB are as follows:
1) sending a request to the end server from a client browser
2) process and transform that particular request on the server and provoke a response,
3) sending the output response to the client from the server.
Response times are generally measured in the milliseconds, ms.
A good server response time will be not higher than 300ms.This varies through the client's request location. A response time greater 300 ms, or extreme variations, are both warnings that there are issues with the server and needs to be fixed.
Avoid a Character Set In the Meta-Tag
Character set is defined as the group of characters each of the character defined by a number. Using character set in the meta-tags create nausance in the browser rendring and the crawling search engines. These character-sets are used in order to find what should be shown on a web-page. A typical meta tags looks like these The major cause of using meta-tags is information duplicacy. Most of the browsers that we use automatically send these headers so there is chance that they may be overridden. Most of the servers like apache/nginx already uses inbuilt in their configuration or.htaccess files. e.g Apache.htaccess file
AddType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8' html
Nginx.config file
http { include /etc/nginx/mime.types; charset UTF-8;... }
Avoiding meta-tags will led to increase our page-load time and skip any information duplicacy that the browser may cause.
Webpage Redirection
Url Redirecting makes a web-page to load slower because requests conversion takes a lot of time from one url to other.Many websites suffers a lot of speed issues because of this. Avoding any redirects and keeping the original url will he If you do not use any redirects, you are serving your content significantly faster. Total Time taken on loading a page depends on the number of redirects the site has. Redirects are likely the one single most time waster in your code especially when you consider mobile networks. They dramatically affect your page speed in a noticeably bad way. Redirects affect mobile users a great deal as they are using less reliable mobile networks than your desktop users.
Avoid E-Tag Status
Enitity tags are a way to determine weather component in the browsers's cache is matched against that of the backend server. That component can be either an image,css,scripts,stylesheets etc. Sending Etags everytime in the header takes a lot-of time for the requests to process and corresponding status is sent back to server.A sample ETag looks like this:
Etags provide a flexible validation model and you do not know how to use it in its core, we should not use Etag Header and remove it altogether.
IP-6 Enabled
When talking about the network protocols IPv6 is far better in terms of speed and stability than the IPv4, Big Giants like Facebook and the Linkedin found 30% improvements in the locations of Europe by changing their protocols from v4 to v6. IPv6 addresses each contain 128 bits and use hexadecimal digits. That means instead of zero through 10, they can use zero through 10 plus 'a' through 'F' (base 16).That gives a total of 340 undecillion possible combinations, so we do not need to worry about running out of IPV6 addresses anytime soon. This gives us a total range of 340 undecillion (3.4 x 10^28) possible combinations. We won't have to worry about running out of IPv6 addresses any time soon So Web Analyzer recommends switching from IPv-4 to IPv-6 for better speed performance.
Total Page Requests
Every time when we visit a webpage on the web, the web browser pings the server which is hosting hosts that webpage.It requests the server that send it to the server-files containing the content for that website. These files consitutes the text, the images, and the videos or multimedia that exist on that webpage.
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a protocol for allotted, collective, hypermedia knowledge systems. It is the base foundation of data communication for the WWW( World Wide Web )
That request is known an HTTP request. HTTP stands for "Hypertext Transfer Protocol," in which a web browser sends a request for a document or file, and the server transferring that particular document or file to the browser.
Page Size
The first web page was live way back in August 6, 1991. With years of fast tech development and user-interface becoming prominent, the actual sizes of pages have significantly increased. In 2010, the average web page size was 702kb and in 2017 it was 3422kb.So the challenge lies how to show all the dynamic content without making compromising the speed.
The overall size of a web-page is calculated by various number of components. Keep in mind that the actual size of the text is rarely a factor and is negligible. The most important are the java-scripts, the images, the graphical content and icons, and the videos..
You can read how to better server Javascript,CSS,Images in the web-page.An average page size should be around 200k.Also with page number total number of http-requests are also important. Having a web-page weighing only 200k but the http-requests excedding 100 is probably worse off than a 500k page with only 20 http-requests.
DNS LookUp
DNS is defined as Domain Name System schema which keeps reference to which domain name maps to which Internet Protocol(IP).Precisely, its a process to know which IP the domain or the url belongs to.Browser mainly handles all the look-ups for the DNS.Web Analyzer recommends no more than 15 unique domains for good speed.On an average, a DNS lookup takes between 20-120ms to complete.
Also, DNS records can be cached to improve the network speed. The DNS cache tries to boost up the process by magaing the name resolution of already /recently visited addresses just before the request is sent out to the internet.
Page Load Time
Page Load Time is a performance criteria that tells how much time it takes for a webpage to fully render. Its the direct factor that impacts user-engagement and business's bottom line When a user makes a request to a webpage and until the entire content of that page is displayed on the requesting browser, this time is Page Load Time WebAnalyzer recommends less than 3 seconds web-page load time as a good metrics, above than that you must think about taking instant measures to correct. Page Load Time depends on TimeForFirstByte i.e how fast a web server respond, all the static files including images,css,js.
Render Blocking Sources
Render-blocking resources are the factors that takes the maximum time delaying the page load time.So, removing these extra nauicance should be removed at the very first. Now the question is how do we find these resources.Webnalyser helps in giving the waterfall for all the resources against their time taken to load.So one can easily capture those resources either it will be css,js or an broken image. These resources can be removed by following these steps:
 - Properly calling the CSS and JS files - using genioun link tag instead of using _USER_
 - Reducing the number of CSS files in the head tag
 - Removing any tag in the head
 - A link without async attribute
Removing these factors will make our page load fast and result in higher user engagement, more pageviews.
Use Gzip Compression
GZIP is used for file compression and decompression. It is generally enabled server-side, and it allows the HTML reduction in size.One can check if the server has Gzip enabled by checking for response headers "content-encoding: gzip". If the header is detected,it servers with the compressed files.It is one of the general and common ways to serve files with GZIP compression.Web-Analyzer helps to detect that by checking on website response and let you know the outcomes.
Connection-Keep Alive
Keep alive is a way to allow the same TCP connection persists for HTTP conversations instead of opening a new connection with each new request.It is also called persistant connection. One can check for "connection: keep-alive" header in response for a webpage request.One can enable keep-alive in Apache config file for a typical apache web-server.
Vary Header
The Vary header tells the server HTTP cache that which of parts of the headers other than the path and the Host header, to take into account when trying to find the right object. It does this by listing the names of the relevant headers, which in this case is Accept-Encoding. In case there are more than one or multiple headers that influence the response, they would all be listed in a single header, separated by a comma. A typical response for a Compressed response should look something like:e: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length: 3458 Cache-Control: max-age=86400 Content-Encoding: gzip Vary: Accept-Encoding


text: Cemetery memorials are synonymous with gothic horror. Dark, haunting and beautiful they capture the imagination of those who wander in their midst. Chances are, though, if you are wandering through a cemetery, you're likely to ponder the kinds of thoughts that belong there: life, death, and the things that slip in between. One particularly notorious memorial statue was the Agnus Memorial. This sculpture was so imposing that the locals in Baltimore took to making up dark tales of its metaphysical misdeeds and gave 'her' the nickname 'Black Aggie'. What inspired these stories? More importantly, what inspired her creation? Join us this week for a tale of intrigue, artistry, love and grief; as we explore the tragic history of Henry and Clover Adams, and the monument that went on to have a life all life of its own.

 Hunch is a consumer web application that is building the "taste graph" of the internet, mapping every person on the internet to every entity on the internet and their affinity for that entity. An entity could be a web site, a cookbook, a hotel room, a celebrity, a restaurant, etc.Hunch creates a taste profile by asking them a series of questions which range from serious to profound and subsequently can make recommendations personalized to that user, which live in "topics".Topics vary widely, from entertaining subjects like 'Which superhero would you be' to more conventional questions like 'Should I Switch to A Mac?' The system then uses the answers to these questions to offer the user a suggested solution, a "hunch" of what the user would like.

Lions and tigers are both night hunters. A good way to tell how if they are night or day hunters is by their eyes.
When looking at lions, you can see that they have white under their eyes, and so do tigers.The reason for this is to improve their night vision. The moonlight reflects off the white and in to their eyes so that they can see better in the dark.
Unlike the lions and the tigers, cheetahs actually hunt during the day. You can tell the same way you would for lions and tigers: looking at their eyes. Instead of having white under their eyes, cheetahs have those infamous black stripes down their face. Those stripes actually help them see during the day. The black does the opposite of what the white would do, actually absorbing the sun's rays, so it won't reflect in their eyes and make it hard to see.
There's always an exception…
One of the wild cats though is an anomaly. The cougar doesn't hunt only during the day or only during the night. The cougar on the other hand hunts whenever, whether it is night time or day time. They don't have a dominant color under theirs eyes like the cheetahs, lions or tigers do.
While you can see these tell-tale signs from pictures, it's much more fun to see in person! Come visit our lions, tigers and cougars next time you're at Wildlife Safari!

text: Accurately predicting the possible behaviors of traffic participants is an essential capability for future autonomous vehicles. The majority of current researches fix the number of driving intentions by considering only a specific scenario. However, distinct driving environments usually contain various possible driving maneuvers. Therefore, a intention prediction method that can adapt to different traffic scenarios is needed. To further improve the overall vehicle prediction performance, motion information is usually incorporated with classified intentions. As suggested in some literature, the methods that directly predict possible goal locations can achieve better performance for long-term motion prediction than other approaches due to their automatic incorporation of environment constraints. Moreover, by obtaining the temporal information of the predicted destinations, the optimal trajectories for predicted vehicles as well as the desirable path for ego autonomous vehicle could be easily generated. In this paper, we propose a Semantic-based Intention and Motion Prediction (SIMP) method, which can be adapted to any driving scenarios by using semantic-defined vehicle behaviors. It utilizes a probabilistic framework based on deep neural network to estimate the intentions, final locations, and the corresponding time information for surrounding vehicles. An exemplar real-world scenario was used to implement and examine the proposed method.

Objective: This study aimed to (i) describe unplanned readmission rates after injury according to time, reason, and place; (ii) compare observed rates with general population rates, and (iii) identify determinants of 30-day readmission.
Background: Hospital readmissions represent an important burden in terms of mortality, morbidity, and resource use but information on unplanned rehospitalization after injury admissions is scarce.
Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study was based on adults discharged alive from a Canadian provincial trauma system (1998–2010; n = 115,329). Trauma registry data were linked to hospital discharge data to obtain information on readmission up to 12 months postdischarge. Provincial admission rates were matched to study data by age and gender to obtain expected rates. Determinants of readmission were identified using multiple logistic regression.
Results: Cumulative readmission rates at 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months were 5.9%, 10.9%, 15.5%, and 21.1%, respectively. Observed rates persisted above expected rates up to 11 months postdischarge. Thirty percent of 30-day readmissions were due to potential complications of injury compared with 3% for general provincial admissions. Only 23% of readmissions were to the same hospital. The strongest independent predictors of readmission were the number of prior admissions, discharge destination, the number of comorbidities, and age.
Conclusions: Unplanned readmissions after discharge from acute care for traumatic injury are frequent, persist beyond 30 days, and are often related to potential complications of injury. Several patient-, injury-, and hospital-related factors are associated with the risk of readmission. Injury readmission rates should be monitored as part of trauma quality assurance efforts.

The relation between women's timing of menarche and father absence was examined in a national probability sample of Great Britain (NATSAL 2000; N>5000). Current body mass index (as a proxy for childhood weight) was examined as a potential mediator of this relationship, along with the potential moderating role that siblings (e.g. number of older brothers) had on this relationship. As in a number of previous studies, an absent father (but not an absent mother) during childhood predicted an earlier age of puberty (i.e. an early menarche). There was no evidence that weight mediated this relationship or that siblings moderated it. Both a lower body mass index and more siblings (e.g. more younger sisters and brothers) were independent predictors of a later timing of puberty. The results confirm that certain psychosocial factors (i.e. father absence; presence of siblings) may affect the timing of sexual maturation in adolescent girls.

text: In layman's terms, Contingency Analysis (CA) is a 'what if' scenario simulator that evaluates, provides and prioritizes the impacts on an electric power system when problems occur. A contingency is the loss or failure of a small part of the power system (e.g. a transmission line), or the loss/failure of individual equipment such as a generator or transformer. This is also called an unplanned 'outage'. Contingency analysis is a computer application that uses a simulated model of the power system, to: • evaluate the effects, and • calculate any overloads, resulting from each outage event. Contingency Analysis is essentially a 'preview' analysis tool. It simulates and quantifies the results of problems that could occur in the power system in the immediate future. CA is used as a study tool for the off-line analysis of contingency events, and as an on-line tool to show operators what would be the effects of future outages. This allows operators to be better prepared to react to outages by using pre-planned recovery scenarios. Future CA as described in this use case template is an enhanced application that takes advantage of the improved communications architecture being defined by IECSA for the future. It will use wide area data and other data to improve its reliability, and to analyze power system security (safe and stable operation) for a wide operating region. Future CA will also incorporate intelligence features to resolve execution problems by using its knowledge base of previous experience in solving difficult situations.

Influence is granted by the apartments in your cities and determines the number of troops you can train.
To see your current Influence, click on one of your apartments in your Neighborhood view. In the apartment screen, there is a tab located at the top labeled 'Influence'.
In the Influence section you can see your total Influence and how that total is achieved through the apartments in your cities. Higher level apartments will give you more Influence and allow you to train more troops at once.
In your Hideout, you can see the required amount of Influence required to train a unit.


NDCG (normalized discounted cumulative gain) metric.
Inherits From: Metric
Calculates NDCG@k for a given set of top_k values calculated from a list of gains (relevance scores) that are sorted based on the associated predictions. The top_k_list can be passed as part of the NDCG metric config or using tfma.MetricsSpec.binarize.top_k_list if configuring multiple top_k metrics. The gain (relevance score) is determined from the value stored in the 'gain_key' feature. The value of NDCG@k returned is a weighted average of NDCG@k over the set of queries using the example weights.
NDCG@k = (DCG@k for the given rank)/(DCG@k DCG@k = sum_{i=1}^k gain_i/log_2(i+1), where gain_i is the gain (relevance score) of the i^th ranked response, indexed from 1.
This is a query/ranking based metric so a query_key must also be provided in the associated tfma.MetricsSpec.

Arcturis is a level 74 spirit beast found in Grizzly Hills. He's one of the four Spirit Beasts known, and is the first Spirit Beast to have the look of a bear.
Trivia Edit
 - The name Arcturis is likely inspired by the name Arcturus, the name of the brightest star in the constellation Boötes, which in turn is derived from the Greek word άρκτος, meaning "bear".
 - Arcturus is also the name of a villain from Starcraft, Arcturus Mengsk
Notes Edit
 - Despite being a rare creature, Arcturis is not on the list of creatures needed for the Achievement zone stormpeaks 03 [Northern Exposure] or the Achievement zone dragonblight 09 [Frostbitten] achievements. He was solely added as a hunter pet.
 - Arcturis is rumored to be on a 21 hour spawn timer that begins from time of kill/tame. This timer DOES reset with server downs and maintenance days.
 - Although, spawn times have been reported from as short of a time as 6 hours, to longer times, upwards of 72 hours.

Madara Rider (Madara Horseman) is the undisputed symbol of the Bulgarian people, history and culture, according to a poll conducted across the country. After this vote it was decided that the effigy of the Madara Rider will be carved on the first Bulgarian Euro coin.
The historical monument of the Madara Rider is a relief which is carved into a cliff. The height of the stone figure is about 23 meters from the base of the rock. This most significant Bulgarian symbol is located in northeastern Bulgaria, about 20 kilometers from the town of Shumen, near the village of Madara.
Very close to the Madara Rider are the first two Bulgarian capitals - Pliska and Preslav. Carved in stone the figure is considered to be apart of a various large ancient archeological site, which includes various items with religious, cultural and military use.
On the left side of the Madara Rider there are very steep stairs which leads you 431 meters up to the Madara plateau. Around the figure of the rider, clearly visible are the carved inscriptions in Greek, which give important information on historical events. According to various posts of specialist historians and archaeologists, the inscriptions are related to the founders of the Bulgarian nation - Asparuh, Krum and Omurtag.
The relief of Madara Rider is a fight scene between the rider and an eagle which flew over the rider. Next to them is a figure of a jumping dog that follows the rider who triumphed the lion with his spear. Overall Madara Rider is a symbol of the power of the First Bulgarian Empire. Experts say that it is most likely that Madara Rider was carved sometime in the 8th century and the rider was Khan Tervel, who lived between 701 and 721.
According to two official versions that describe what is depicted on this historic sanctuary in Bulgaria, the relief recreates the hunting scene in which the Bulgarian ruler kills a lion with his spear and whom is followed by his faithful dog.
The second hypothesis explains that the rider is associated with Khan Tervel, who defeated the Byzantines which is depicted symbolically by the lion and the dog. However, there are more posts that suggests, the Madara Rider relief is more than a depicted hunting scene. They take this information mostly from the unusual facts, obe being, that the lion has a raised tail, which means that it was not killed.
On a closer look at the animal under the rider you will see it does not look like a lion, as also once claimed. The lion has a distinctive mane and is significantly larger. The illustrated animal is a tiger or Leopard - the name by which ancient Bulgarians have called this animal.
In his front paws the 'lion' is holding a snake that is quite eroded, but is still distinct. It is a symbol of the Year of the Snake. The historical monument of Madara Rider was of world heritage by UNESCO in 1979 to 29 June 2008 and is also one of 100 national tourist sites.

Since a Red Flag Warning is rarely issued, many people are caught off guard about what it means.
A Red Flag Warning is issued when weather conditions become supportive for explosive fire growth. It is issued to prevent burning in a situation where a fire can easily get out of control. Three criteria have to be met when considering a Red Flag Warning, 1.) Sustatined winds just above the surface above 15 miles per hour. 2.) Relative humdity values below 25 percent. 3.) 10 hour fuel moisture below 8 percent. (10 hour fuels - stem diameter less than 1 inch).
This afternoon's forecast for the Interstate 75 corridor calls for southwest around 15 mph with gusts up to 30 mph, relative humidities between 20 and 25 percent, and 10 hour fuel moisture less than 8 percent.
The public should restrain from burning this afternoon to avoid potential wild fires.

do I need separate UILabel in a custom UIView to have separate UILabel lines in a UITableViewCell?
That is, if I want to have a TableViewCell that has all text, but the text needs to contain 4 separate rows for 4 separate strings (e.g. Name, Title, Description, Location), and each these separate rows could include a wrap around.
To ask the question the other way around, is there way with a normal UITableViewCell using it content view and single text label, to force Carriage Return/New Line points at the end of each of the four strings? Oh yes, and the cell height will need to be calculated for each Cell as it may vary (just in case this is significant)

The answer to the last question: NO. (Answer to the title: YES.)
You can build a cell in its own NIB file. An exercise I suggest if you've never done it.
Layout the size/location/resize functionality as you like it.
your table view controller can be the owner of the file, add an outlet to the TV controller of loadedCell, and call load nib every time you want to alloc a new cell,
i suggest tagging each of the cell labels, and accessing them that way, and setting the loadedCell value to nil after loading it,
p.s. a UILabel often wraps text undesirably, or is hard to layout in a cell to look good, consider the other values of lineBreakMode for your labels
p.p.s. it will employ a text shortening behavior depending on adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth and minimumFontSize (taking this and lineBreakMode into consideration)
share|improve this answer
p.p.p.s you can set the "reuse identifier" in the NIB file, or programmatically once loaded, but it should be set! doing so in code helps ensure that you're using the same value as the call to dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier: – bshirley Jun 8 '11 at 4:54

The Guardener Deer Repeller
The Guardner, a new DEER REPELLING DEVICE, has features designed to make it one of the best product on the market today. The Guardener™ A201 uses two proven deer repelling technologies (ultrasound and water spraying) in a package that is environmentally "green" and solves many of the shortcomings of other water sprayers or ultrasonic repelling devices. The product uses BOTH repelling technologies (water and ultrasound), is solar powered, and has a strong battery operated pump to produce a very effective water pattern over a large area.
The A201 Guardener does not require a water hose connection, electrical wiring,or stakes to hold it in place. It contains its own water supply and battery power. This makes it easily portable. It does not create wet or muddy areas, and because there are no hoses it does not interfere with lawn mowing or produce tripping hazards as other products do. Our product can easily be placed far from water supplies or in areas where it would be impractical to run a water hose. Since it uses NO chemicals or irritants is compatible with organic gardening and does anger animal rights activists. We never want our products to harm animals in any way! Satisfaction guarantees and warranties apply.

More Questions About The Guardener?
What is the Guardener? The Guardener is an intelligent device aimed to stop deer and other animals from invading garden crops or precious flowers. It is a solar powered, maintenance free device--- aside from filling the tank with water as needed. It provides an independent water pressure system so your garden is clear of additional water pipes.
How does the Guardener deter animals? The device is equipped with 2 effective yet non-harming weapons to deter animals. First, it issues an ultrasonic alarm which can only be heard by the animals when they approach to a specific area set by the sensitivity. If the animals are not deterred by the alarm, the second weapon—a pressurized water jet will physically scare them away.
How does the device know animals are approaching? The device uses a motion sensor to detect the presence of nearby animals. You can set the detecting area by adjusting the sensitivity knob.
What is the effective range of the motion sensor? The range can be adjusted from a minimum of 15 feet to a maximum of 25 feet. Different weather conditions may slightly alter ranges.
How much area can the the Guardener cover? The sprinkler can rotate up to 170 degrees and shooting pressurized water as far as 17 to 22 feet.
Can I adjust the distance range for the sprinkler? No. The sprinkler is customized for simplicity and cannot be adjusted.
How do I avoid accidentally setting off the device? As long as you approach the device from behind, you will not set it off. Should you accidentally activate the sensor from the front; you still have time to walk away during the buzzing period which signals activation of the ultrasound alarm. If you intend to work around the detecting area for a time period, you can simply press the off button to deactivate the system. Just remember to switch it back on when done.
How I install my Guardener to avoid aiming to other people? In general, the sensor should only face the garden. People working behind the sensor will not activate the sensor.
My garden is near a street. Will the vehicles driving by activate my Guardener? As long as your sensor is not facing the street, it will be fine. In addition, there is a delay time sensor activation such that a fast moving object will not cause the sensor to respond.
What is the advantage of the Guardener compared to other animal repelling system? A unique feature of The Guardener is that it uses both ultrasound and water blast to repel animals. Consequently, it is more effective and reliable than products which use only one feature to deter animals.
Is the water system by the Guardener better than other water blast repelling systems? Another unique and important feature of the Guardener water system is that it does not connect to a water resource through water pipe ensuring the cleanliness and beauty of your yard. the Guardener only needs water refilled into its tank on average of once every 10-14 days.
Then how the water is pressurized? A high pressure, self-operating submersible water pump delivers water pressure of 2 bars to the sprinkler. The sprinkler then rotates to spray the water toward unwanted animals.
How much water is stored in the tank and how many times does a full tank last? The tank itself can hold about 3.5 gallons of water which is enough for 30 to 40 times of pumping.
How long does the sprinkler work in a cycle? Each blast lasts about 4 seconds back and forth when the angle is set to 120 degrees.
Under normal use, how often you need to fill up the water tank? On average, if a deer visits 2 times a day, it would take about 10 days to 2 weeks to empty a full tank. We anticipate you will need to water your garden much more frequently than refilling your Guardener. On the same note, we found that when deer come close enough to be sprayed by the water after hearing the ultrasound, they learn to stay away from the area just from ultrasound alone. This results in less water use over time.
What could be the reason for the water tank to empty unusually fast? Unless you have animals visiting more than 30 times a day, the most probable cause is false triggering from pointing the Guardener at moving water or vehicles or severe wind. You may need to adjust your location if you have false triggering issues.
Except occasionally filling the water tank, is the Guardener a maintenance free system? Yes. The system uses a solar energy panel to recharge the battery power.
What sunshine exposure is sufficient for normal use? For an average use of 3-4 times of triggering the water pump each day, around 2 hours of exposure will be plenty.
What if my location does not provide enough sunlight to power the Guardener? You may need to try alternative locations. If you cannot find an ideal location, you can purchase an additional solar panel from AimerGard which can be easily connected to the Guardener though an existing spare connector.
Will the Guardener be damaged if the water runs out? The pump is capable of running dry for longer than 5 minutes. Since every pumping cycle only lasts 4 seconds, there will be no immediate damage.
Can the Guardener be used the whole year long? The Guardener is designed to operate in conditions that support plant life. The Guardener is not designed to pump frozen water, therefore, it is mandatory to move the Guardener to shelter in freezing conditions.
How do I store the Guardener? The water tank should be emptied. We also recommend charging the solar panel for 1-2 days before storage.
Are the products available in different colors? The products are only available in the green color; this was chosen to both blend in with the natural environment and to allow the customer to easily view the water level in the tank. If you wish to change the color of the product to blend in with your house, etc., you may paint it with any commercial spray paint.
Is there any factor I should consider if I choose to paint the product? The green color of the product allows the water level to be easily seen. If you choose to paint the product & wish to be able to easily view the water level in your tank, then you should consider either 1) leaving an unpainted vertical strip on the product, or 2) choosing a paint color that is light enough or translucent enough to be able to view the water level.
Can I use any paint to change the color of the product? Yes, you can use any commercial outdoor paint available from home improvement stores, etc.

 [Test, TestCaseSource("CurrencySamples")]
 public void Format_Currency(decimal value, string expected){}
 static object[][] CurrencySamples = new object[][]
 new object[]{ 0m, "0,00"},
 new object[]{ 0.0004m, "0,00"},

 new object[]{ 5.1234m, "5,12"},
 new object[]{ 5.1250m, "5,13"}, // round
 new object[]{ 5.1299m, "5,13"}, // round
This will generate 8 separate tests in NUnit GUI
 [TestCase((string)null, Result = "1")]
 [TestCase("", Result = "1")]
 [TestCase("1", Result = "2")]
 public string IncrementDocNumber(string lastNum) { return "some"; }
This will generate 5 separate tests and automatically compare the results (Assert.Equal).
 public void StateTest(
 [Values(1, 10)]
 int input,
 [Values(State.Initial, State.Rejected, State.Stopped)]
 DocumentType docType
This will generate 6 combinatorial tests. Priceless.

xUnit offers a way to run parameterized tests through something called data theories. The concept is equivalent to the one found in NUnit but the functionality you get out of the box is not as complete.
Here's an example:
public void Should_format_the_currency_value_correctly(decimal value)
 //...
In this example xUnit will run the Should_format_the_currency_value_correctly test once for every InlineDataAttribute each time passing the specified value as argument.
Data theories are an extensibility point that you can use to create new ways to run your parameterized tests. The way this is done is by creating new attributes that inspect and optionally act upon the arguments and return value of the test methods.
You can find a good practical example of how xUnit's data theories can be extended in AutoFixture's AutoData and InlineAutoData theories.
