I am trying to create linear referencing to point. I have a line to which I have snapped to points to (without breaking it).  Now I want to find the distance from the start point of my lines to points snapped to it, this I struggle with.  Point 1. 45m from start of line Point 2. 126 from start of line etc.   Examples I have seen seem to focus on calculate distance between vertices but I just want to calculate length from start of line to point, for every point.   Does someone have an idea how this could be done?
I have created an FME workspace which inputs a pipeline as well as other linear features which cross it (waterways, roads, railways, fences, other pipelines, etc).  The output is a point file which contains the crossing type.  What I would like to do is calculate the distance along the pipe from the start of the pipeline for each intersection.  So, as you travel along the pipeline, the distance attribute will increase.   I'm thinking that I'll need to use some of the linear referencing tools like MeasureGenerator, MeasureExtractor, or something like that, but I'm not sure how to do so.  Does anyone have an idea of how to do this?
When I plug in my USB flash drive, it shows up on my computer as write-protected or read-only. I am unable to transfer data to it, nor can I modify or delete any files already stored on it. I also cannot repartition or reformat the drive using Windows Disk Management, DiskPart, GParted, or other tools. The drive does not have a write-protect switch.  Why did this happen and what can I do about it? Is there a way to remove the write protection?  (Note that this can happen with some memory cards, too, as they often use controllers similar to those used in flash drives. In some cases, the system may report that the drive or card was formatted successfully even though it was never actually formatted; the original data reappears when the device is reinserted.)     This question comes up often and the answers are usually the same. This post is meant to provide a definitive, canonical answer for this problem. Feel free to edit the answer to add additional details. I am trying to pickle some mangoes the Indian way. I boiled the jar in hot water, dried it and then added the mixture of spices, salt and mangoes to the jars after the mixture had cooled. I made the mixture in a frying pan to try and remove as much water as I could. After it was cooled, I put it in the jar and heated some mustard oil till it just barely started smoking. I let that cool and poured it over the mango spice mixture.  For the first three days it was fine. On the fourth day, I opened it to test the taste and ended up adding more salt. Now, there seems to be gas forming in the jar. I've noticed it a few times now. When I open the jar, I hear a whooshing noise as air escapes. It's quite a lot, since I opened the container about 3 times in a 10 hour period and each time gas escaped. Has this pickle gone bad? Or is this something that's normal? Determining the structure of the quotient ring $\mathbb{Z}[x]/(x^2+3,p)$ In attempting to wrap my mind around the basic vocabulary, concepts, and methods of philosophy, I find myself wondering what the difference is between a philosopher and a theologian.   can have two meanings: 1. Theology is a rational study of the existence of God/gods and the nature of religious ideas. 2. Theology is simply a study of a particular religion (or all religions), really more the practice than the theory, but maybe a mixture.  It seems from an immediate reading that definition 1 would lead to the conclusion that a theologian is a philosopher (perhaps that theology is a branch or subset of philosophy), but definition 2 appears to be rather unphilosophical in nature.    So, how does philosophy answer this question?   Is theology considered a proper subset/branch of philosophy overall? Does it depend entirely on which of the above 2 definitions of theology fits a particular theologian as to whether he is a philosopher or not?   I think this answer is simple and fairly self-evident, but somewhere in my gut I feel like I'm missing something.  Is there a treatment of this question in the literature?    Edit: the answers so far seem to want to redefine theology or other terms - that is fine, but please be clear that you are redfining them, and provide, if possible, sources for why the term should be different than given (support from historical works, other sites, etc.).

Prove that $||x|-|y||\le |x-y|$ I've seen the full proof of the Triangle Inequality  \begin{equation*} |x+y|\le|x|+|y|.  \end{equation*} However, I haven't seen the proof of the reverse triangle inequality:  \begin{equation*} ||x|-|y||\le|x-y|. \end{equation*} Would you please prove this using only the Triangle Inequality above?  Thank you very much. Proof of an inequality by induction: $(1 + x_1)(1 + x_2)...(1 + x_n) \ge 1 + x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n$ Let $n \in \mathbb N^+$. Show that if $x_1, x_2, ... , x_n$ are $n$ real numbers such that $-1 \le x_i \le 0$ for each $1 \le i \le n$, then $$(1 + x_1)(1 + x_2)...(1 + x_n) \ge 1 + x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n$$  I am using a proof by induction, but I am unable to complete it. I would appreciate any tips on how I could finish the proof.   Incomplete Proof Let $P(n)$ be the proposition that $(1 + x_1)(1 + x_2)...(1 + x_n) \ge 1 + \sum_{i = 1} ^ n x_i$. When $n = 1$, LHS = RHS = $1 + x_i$. Clearly $1 + x_i \ge 1 + x_i$ and so $P(1)$ is true. Assume that $P(k)$ is true, i.e. $(1 + x_1)(1 + x_2)...(1 + x_k) \ge 1 + \sum_{i=1}^k x_i$. Case 1 Suppose $x_{k + 1}  = -1$. Then $1 + x_{k + 1} = 0$, hence LHS = $(1 + x_1)(1 + x_2)...(1 + x_k)(1 + x_{k+1}) = 0$. RHS = $1 + x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_k - 1 = x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_k$ which is always nonpositive since each $x_i$ is nonpositive. Hence RHS $\le 0$ and so LHS $\ge$ RHS. Case 2 Suppose $x_{k+1} = 0$. Then $1 + x_{k+1} = 1$, hence multiplying it to LHS does not change anything. Also, adding $x_{k+1}$ to RHS does not change anything. Therefore, LHS $\ge$ RHS still holds. Case 3 Suppose $-1 &lt; x_{k+1} &lt; 0$. Then $0 &lt; 1 + x_{k+1} &lt; 1$. Adding $x_{k+1}$ to RHS makes the RHS smaller since $x_{k+1}$ is negative. If LHS $= 0$, then multiplying $1 + x_{k+1}$ to LHS does not change anything, and so LHS $\ge$ RHS holds. If LHS > $0$, then multiplying $1 + x_{k+1}$ to LHS makes the LHS smaller since $0 &lt; 1 + x_{k+1} &lt; 1$. In this case LHS $\ge$ RHS does not necessarily hold? ... How do I use RelativeSource with WPF bindings and what are the different use-cases? How can I remove all duplicates so that NONE are left in a data frame? I want to know how to get size of objects like a string, integer, etc. in Python.  Related question:   I am using an XML file which contains size fields that specify the size of value. I must parse this XML and do my coding. When I want to change the value of a particular field, I will check the size field of that value. Here I want to compare whether the new value that I'm gong to enter is of the same size as in XML. I need to check the size of new value. In case of a string I can say its the length. But in case of int, float, etc. I am confused. Is it posible to change the locale of my device? Catching access violation exceptions?

In my custom Drupal 8 plug-in I perform such query:  $select = db_select('my_table', 'e'); $select-&gt;addField('e', 'field1');  $select-&gt;condition('field3', 'NULL', '!='); $select-&gt;condition('field4', array(11, 12, 31, 32, 33), 'IN');  $select-&gt;groupBy("e.field1"); $select-&gt;orderBy("e.field1"); $select-&gt;orderBy("e.field5"); $entries = $select-&gt;execute()-&gt;fetchAll(\PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);    And it works fine. It returns me all records grouped by field1 that meets the condition, orderered. But it returns only field1 column.  I wanted to get more columns, so I have added another $select-&gt;addField('e', 'field2'); just after first one:  $select = db_select('my_table', 'e'); $select-&gt;addField('e', 'field1'); $select-&gt;addField('e', 'field2');  $select-&gt;condition('field3', 'NULL', '!='); $select-&gt;condition('field4', array(11, 12, 31, 32, 33), 'IN');  $select-&gt;groupBy("e.field1"); $select-&gt;orderBy("e.field1"); $select-&gt;orderBy("e.field5"); $entries = $select-&gt;execute()-&gt;fetchAll(\PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);    This time I get error:     Drupal\Core\Database\DatabaseExceptionWrapper: SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1055 Użyto 'my_database.e.field2' bez umieszczenia w group by:   Which means "my_database.e.field2 has been used without putting in into group by". But I don't want to group by every column I select.  Unfortunatelly Drupal 8 added ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY :( Then, how can I use groupBy and select more then one column at the same time?
