Upper Limb Prosthetics Market Analysis Upper limb prosthetic sales in 2019 are estimated to close in on US$ 330 Mn, and record a Y-o-Y growth of 4.4% over 2018, according to a new study of Future Market Insights (FMI). Upper limb prosthetics have been witnessing progressing sales scenario at a modest pace over the recent past. Besides a rising trend of cosmetic prosthetics, prevalence of sports injuries is significantly contributing to the demand growth of upper limb prosthetics in the global market.
Upper Limb Prosthetics Market Analysis As per FMI's analysis, a considerable number of companies competing in upper limb prosthetics market are concentrating on providing rehabilitative prosthetic services and amputee care. Consistently increasing demand for prostheses following accidental and aging related disabilities will primarily push sales of upper limb prosthetics. Rapid surge in the number of orthopedic disorders and post-traumatic disabilities will also remain a key factor determining demand for upper limb prosthetics in the near future, according to the report. Prosthetic Wrist to Hold over One-Fourth Market Share Transradial disarticulation (below elbow) will remain the key indication generating maximum demand for upper limb prosthetics. The report points to a higher revenue share of over 1/4th of the total value, collectively contributed by wrist disarticulation and transhumeral disarticulation (above elbow). Sale of partial hand has also been registering a moderately growing share in the market revenue. Prosthetic wrist sales account for over a fourth of the total market value whereas, prosthetic arm is likely to develop highest-selling potential in the years to come. Prosthetic elbow and terminal devices are currently among highly sought after components of upper limb prosthetics after prosthetic wrist, according to FMI's study. The combined revenue share of these two in the market has been anticipated to be more than 45% in 2019. However, prosthetic shoulders will also continue to experience moderate demand over the course of next few years.
Upper Limb Prosthetics Market Analysis Almost 2/5th of the total demand for upper limb prosthetics is accounted by myoelectric prosthetic devices, followed by body powered counterparts. As per FMI's analysis, passive prosthetic devices can be positioned as a relatively lucrative type of upper limb prosthetics. North America & Europe Hold over 55% Share in Market Value While more than 55% share of the global market revenue is contributed by developed regional markets, the penetration of upper limb prosthetics within most of the developing regions remains in its latency. According to FMI's study, the market in China, India, and some of the fast-developing economies in East and South Asia economies hints at promising growth prospects post 2019. The report attributes this growth to the sophistication of healthcare infrastructure, improvements in reimbursement scenario, rapid expansion of the patient pool, and the flourishing medical tourism sector. Increasing per capita healthcare spending, spike in the private and public investments in R&D, and the influx of activities involving shifting of manufacturing bases to developing regional pockets have also been instrumental in establishing a positive growth outlook for upper limb prosthetics market in these regions.

Q: Quicksort getting rid of Keys after sorting I am trying to run a recursive quick sort on an array with a list of countries and their number of athletes
For example this input:
[Iran, Islamic Republic Of] => 38
[Italy] => 257
[Brazil] => 246
[Norway] => 114
[Algeria] => 17
[Bulgaria] => 65
[Malaysia] => 29

I am trying to sort the information from highest to lowest using this function:
function quicksort($array)
{
    if (count($array) == 0) {
        return array();
    }

    $pivot = array_shift($array); //Array_shift is getting rid of keys I need the keys to identify the numbers
    $left = $right = array();

    foreach($array as $key => $object){
        if ($object > $pivot) {
            $left[$key] = $object;
        } else {
            $right[$key] = $object;
        }
    }

    return array_merge(quicksort($left), array($pivot), quicksort($right));
}

The output is:
[2] => 520
[3] => 512
[4] => 482
[5] => 448
[6] => 417
[7] => 378
[8] => 357

The problem is that I'm losing the keys (countries) and I'm left with only the values of each key.

A: Try out the built-in array sorting functions. arsort() should do the trick.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/array.sorting.php

A: You should set the key of the pivot in the last line of the function (the line starting with return). This should work:
function quicksort($array)
{
    if (count($array) == 0) {
        return array();
    }

    reset($array); // Reset array pointer to the first element
    $pivotkey = key($array); // Get the key of that first element
    $pivot = array_shift($array); // Het it's value and remove it

    $left = $right = array();

    foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
        if ($value > $pivot) {
            $left[$key] = $value;
        } else {
            $right[$key] = $value;
        }
    }

    return array_merge(quicksort($left), array($pivotkey => $pivot), quicksort($right));
}

The Death of Another Anonymous Street Tramp
We got the news the other day that Mott died. For a half hour, Mott was the gossip of the day. And then, he's forgotten. It's amazing how quickly people are forgotten. Mott was another one of those guys who's been "on the scene" for at least the last 20 years. A face in the crowd. "There goes good ole Mott." And then, suddenly, it's: "There went good ole Mott."
Death becomes a drumbeat that gets louder and louder as you get older.
At first, when you're young, the deaths are spaced out years apart. But as you get older, they're months apart. Then weeks apart. Then . . .
Pretty soon it's almost like every day you're hearing about somebody you know dropping dead. It's not so much shocking -- the reaction you get when you hear somebody died. It's more like a "Huh? What the fuck?" reaction. Like when something peculiar happens and the mind can't quite wrap itself around the subject.
This weird reaction to death. Where it seems so weird, AND so normal. All at the same time.
Mott was this scruffy little guy, almost dwarf-ish in his stature. I always pictured him as "Pig Pen" -- the "Peanuts" character. Every now and then, like on the first after he cashed his SSI check, Mott would look neat and clean -- new clothes, haircut, etc. But within days he'd be back to his naturally dirty look. Disheveled hair. Scraggly beard. Toothless. Weird stains on his torn jacket.
Mott was the classic hobo. The classic street tramp look. The harmless little troll sitting under the bridge. He was one of those archetypal street people -- you couldn't picture Mott existing anywhere but the streets. One of those guys who never "dropped out." Mott was never "in" in the first place.
Mott was a nice guy. Even Hate Man called him "sweet." A lot of people had a secret soft spot for Mott. Even the bullies that picked on him, who Mott just shrugged off with a "That's just how people are, whattaya' gonna' do, Ace," shrug of the shoulders. With no sense of bitterness or need to retaliate. Mott was one of those guys who accepted whatever life gave him, was grateful for any scrap he got, and never complained when he got the short end of the stick. Which was often.
When we heard Mott was in the hospital, we thought of getting a card and all signing it. But we never quite got around to it. Which somehow summed up Mott's life. Typical. You cared. But not that much. Or maybe it was just the "solitary tramp" side of Mott that always kept you at a distance. Like, Mott himself was more comfortable watching the doings of humanity from a quiet place in the bushes. He knew what the fate was for the trolls who ventured too close to civilization.
"Hey there, Ace, how ya' doin'," was Mott's quietly chipper greeting as we passed (many, many times) on our sidewalk routes. He had the bearing of a wary, scraggly puppy that had been beaten too many times, and yet could still cautiously and eagerly warm to the friendly overtures from others. Just a good guy, Mott. One of those guys defeated a thousand times by life, but never really defeated. Always bounced back. Had more soul than a lot of people.
One time, Mott came up to me and said: "Ace, two months ago I stole 50-cents out of your donation cup when nobody was looking. I been meanin' to pay you back. Here's a dollar."
That was Mott. He didn't have to tell me, after all. And 99% of the other bums on the street scene wouldn't have. A good guy, Mott.
And yet still, when I think of Mott --- or when I think of most people I know who died -- there's this sort of empty feeling. Like: That's IT?? Mott tramped and bounded and stumbled and staggered and strutted (even Mott) through life. Then, like a wind-up toy that ran out of ticks, it toppled over on the sidewalk and laid there, silently. Done.
RIP Mott

While the West Country may not have the crime rates associated with big cities across the UK, criminals do still target a worrying number of homes in Devon and Cornwall. If you've never been burgled, you might not appreciate the emotional effects it can have, let alone the loss of your valuables and damage to your home. The best way to avoid being burgled is to keep your home secure.
The most obvious protection for your home is the locking systems. Window locks make a significant difference, as windows are a favourite entry point for burglars. If you have double or triple glazing, it makes the window far harder to break, and if you have decent window locks fitted, your windows become a far less inviting prospect.
Modern doors are designed very much with security in mind and are composed of layers of strong metal with multiple locking points. This makes them almost impossible to break through, and a burglar can't cleverly unlock the door without a key, so a modern door is the most secure defence for your home. If you've got an older door, make sure you have extra bolts, and a deadlock fitted and use them when you lock up at night.
Glass doors such as French windows and conservatory doors can be a weak point, so check whether they're made of laminated glass, which is harder to break, or double glazed. You can cover glass panels with a film that makes it harder to break, and always double lock UPVC doors. If you install folding door systems, make sure they come with features such as eight-point multi-locking systems, shoot bolts, and security hinges.
1. Locking up whenever you're out of the house, even if you're only in the garden.
2. Hiding keys out of sight and nowhere near the letterbox.
3. Keep your fences and gates well-maintained.
4. Don't leave valuables where they can be easily seen from outside.
5. Store anything particularly valuable in a safe or at the bank.
6. Don't leave tools and ladders around where they could be used to assist a break-in.
You should also look at installing security lighting around the property that comes on if anyone's around, and don't forget to secure your garden shed and garage against theft.
Neighbours are a valuable form of defence against theft, and areas with Neighbourhood Watch schemes in place have significantly lower crime rates. Join your local group, and liaise with your neighbours, so you help each other out and mind the property if one of you is away.
You shouldn't constantly be worrying about the likelihood of being burgled or feel unsafe in your home, and there's no need to be overly concerned. Just make sure your home is secured as well as it can be, and if a burglar does take a look at your home, they'll soon move on when they see how well protected it is.

Fayette Historic Townsite spotlights early Michigan industry

Over 20 historic structures, including the blast furnace, hotel, town hall and superintendent's house are preserved in a museum village setting near Garden, Michigan.
Groups get a guided tour of the townsite, which highlights the social history town, architecture and iron smelting process. Then, visitors can explore museum exhibits inside many of the buildings to learn more about the town, people and industry.
The limestone bluff and Lake Michigan harbor provide a picturesque backdrop for the townsite. The scenery alone is worth the visit, said Troy Henderson, the Upper Peninsula staff historian for the Michigan History Center. Henderson runs the interpretive program at Fayette.
Visitors enjoy the site's multidimensional historical aspects. Learn about individuals who actually worked in the 1880s on the site and see museum period rooms to envision what a typical house or business looked like. Visitors learn about historic preservation as well as the iron industry and its importance to the expanding nation.
Henderson said there is a lot of history presented in different ways at Fayette, and visitors enjoy that because there is something for everybody.
"There were about 500 people who lived and worked in Fayette in the 1870s and 1880s, and we hope to breathe life into the company town in our exhibits and interpretation," Henderson said. "I hope people who visit the site can take away or envision the feel of the town when it was bustling with energy."
Randy Brown, park manager, said the only fee for entry is a Michigan State Park Commercial Bus Recreation Passport, which allows entry in any state park for the date it is issued.

Guided tours are offered if scheduled in advance. Fayette has a modern Visitor Center with a museum store and large panoramic model of the Fayette in the 1880s.
Special accessibility accommodations can also be made in advance of a visit.

New letter fans FLDS dispute
Polygamy Thursday February 5, 2004 Religion News Blog
CANE BEDS, Ariz. — Mohave County Sheriff Tom Sheehan is investigating an unsigned letter that rails against the interference of "gentiles and apostates" in the workings of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and claims "blood atonement" is the only salvation for people who leave the sect.
Ben Bistline, who left the FLDS 20 years ago, said he received the letter at his Colorado City post office box Jan. 23.
The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a sect of Mormonism. Mormonism in turn is a cult of Christianity.
Read up on Polygamy
"I'm not afraid for my life," said Bistline, who has written a history of the area. "What scares me is the mentality."
The FLDS is based in the border towns of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz., and is led by Warren Jeffs, considered by his followers to be their prophet. Many of its 8,000 members practice plural marriage. The community has been in the news since early January, when Jeffs excommunicated 21 men and asked them to leave their homes, wives and children.
The two-page, single-spaced letter, addressed to "Benny Bistiline," reads in part: "The prophet says the only hope for a person who disobeys is blood atonement. He hasn't told anybody to kill anybody else. He's working very hard to get us to a point where God will clean up the world.
"He's destroying the seeds of contention. . . . Then God will be able to order the destroying angels to go forth and they will kill off all the wicked."
This is at least the second anonymous letter that has appeared since Jeffs' action. Excommunicant Ross Chatwin of Colorado City, who on Jan. 24 publicly denounced church leaders, said a letter was left at his house with instructions to copy it and mail it, which he says he did. Chatwin said Monday he knew nothing about the latest letter.
Chatwin has been summoned to a court in Kingman, Ariz., on Thursday to answer the "notice to quit property" he was given Jan. 27 by the FLDS. Homes and property in the towns are held in trust by the church; those who live in those homes do so at the pleasure of their religious leaders.
The Polygamy Dilemma – Is Plural Marriage a Dead Issue in Mormonism?
Chapter 9 in "The Changing World of Mormonism" deals with the cult's views on Polygamy
Research resources on Polygamy
The concept of blood atonement — that a person must shed his own blood to atone for shedding another's — was put forth by Brigham Young and a few other early leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That view, however, is not considered doctrine of the LDS Church, according to the Encyclopedia of Mormonism. The LDS Church disavowed polygamy in 1890 and excommunicates those who practice it.
Bistline said Monday he would stay put in Cane Beds, a desolate desert stretch about two miles south of Colorado City. Sheehan said his investigators are deciding whether to turn the letter over the FBI. "I read it and I would consider it a threat," Sheehan said.
Sheehan has stationed extra officers around Hildale and Colorado City since early January. Although emergency calls placed in the towns ring to the city marshal's office, Sheehan said, residents also may call 800-526-1911 to contact deputies patrolling the Arizona Strip.

Q: Interpolate based on group I am trying to perform an interpolation based on the input data ( test_data_Inputs) on the test_data data frame. The way I have it set up now is I do it by Peril so so I first created a dataframe that only contained the fire peril (see below) then perform the interpolation on that specific peril group:
The goal is to have a column in the test_data_inputs that has both the Peril Type, and Factor. One of the issues I have been encountering is the situation where the amount of insurance in the test_data_input is a perfect match within the test_data dataframe. It still interpolates regardless of if it is a perfect match or not.
fire_peril_test=test_data[test_data['Peril Type'=='Fire']]
from scipy import interpolate
x=fire_peril_test['Amount of Insurance']
x=fire_peril_test['Amount Of Insurance']
y=_fire_peril_test['Factor']
y=fire_peril_test['Factor']
f=interpolate.interp1d(x,y)
xnew=test_data_Inputs["Amount of Insurance"]
ynew=f(xnew)

test_data_Inputs=pd.DataFrame({'Amount of Insurance':[320000,330000,340000]})
test_data=pd.DataFrame({'Amount of Insurance':[300000,350000,400000,300000,350000,400000],'Peril Type':['Fire','Fire','Fire','Water','Water','Water'],'Factor':[.10,.20,.35,.20,.30,.40]})

Appreciate all of the assistance.

A: amount_of_insurance=pd.DataFrame()
df['Amount of Insurance']=pd.melt(df['Amount of Insurance'],id_vars=['Amount Of Insurance'],var_name='Peril Type',value_name='Factor')

for peril in df['Amount of Insurance']['Peril Type'].unique():
    #peril='Fire'
    x=df['Amount of Insurance']['Amount Of Insurance'][df['Amount of Insurance']['Peril Type']==str(peril)]
    y=df['Amount of Insurance']['Factor'][df['Amount of Insurance']['Peril Type']==str(peril)]
    f=interpolate.interp1d(x,y)
    xnew=data_for_rater[['Enter Amount of Insurance']]
    ynew=f(xnew)
    append_frame=data_for_rater[['Group','Enter Amount of Insurance']]
    append_frame['Peril Type']=str(peril)
    append_frame['Factor']=ynew
    amount_of_insurance=amount_of_insurance.append(append_frame)

My solution with my actual data. Pretty much I melted the data to be able to loop through the unique Peril Types. If you guys have any alternatives let me know...

Dad Wonders If He Was Wrong To House One Son & Kick Other Son Out After Learning What He Did To His Brother
Entertainment And News
By Jonathan Alfano — Written on Apr 16, 2022

A 26-year-old man came to his father in a rough spot.
He recently left his wife after discovering she was having an affair and has been burning through his money to stay at a motel every night. Despite his struggles, he refuses to move back in with his dad while he picks himself back up.
After learning why, the father kicked out one son to let the other move in.
That's because the man's 27-year-old brother is the one his wife cheated on him with, and he's staying with his dad.
Now, the father is wondering if he was wrong for housing his son who got cheated on, and kicking out the one who wronged his brother.
RELATED: Woman's Sister Names Her Newborn After The Baby She Lost & Calls Her A 'Drama Queen' For Reacting Badly
The man made a post to the subreddit r/AmItheA**hole (AITA) about the situation, looking for outside perspectives on it. Commenters on the subreddit can determine whether or not you were in the wrong, voting that either "You're the A**hole" (YTA) or "Not the A**hole."
The father says his youngest son, Jack, didn't tell him the details of the affair for a long time. Jack always wanted to meet with his father in public places so he wouldn't see his brother, Andrew, at his dad's home.
When Jack finally told his father what Andrew had done to him, his dad was irate.
He told Andrew, who had been staying with him since losing his job to COVID, that he was no longer welcome in the house and gave him a deadline to pack up and leave.
Andrew pleaded with his father to let him stay, but his efforts did nothing to sway his dad.
"But I told him as of right now I only have one child because we sure as heck didn't raise our kids to betray their own family and involve themselves in someone else's marriage," the father wrote.
After Andrew moved out and Jack moved in, their father's family members strongly opposed his decision.
Their mother and Jack's ex-in-laws, who can't house Andrew either, criticized him for "playing favorites." They also told him he should have tried to remedy the situation so they could coexist with each other.
RELATED: Woman Asks If She Was Wrong To Pay For A Stranger's Wedding Dress Instead Of Her Daughter's
The dad says he doesn't want to make Jack live with the one who hurt him so much.
"He cries himself to sleep every night and during the day he's just so detached from everything," the dad wrote in a comment. "It's hard to see your child hurting that way and not get angry at the ones responsible for it (his ex and brother)."
He concludes the post by saying that Andrew has been sleeping at different friends' houses since he got kicked out, and asks readers if he is in the wrong.
Commenters took the fathers side and voted that he was NTA.
Many commended him for considering Jack's wishes and not forcing him into an uncomfortable situation for the sake of family.
"I'd never want to put my child in a situation like that either," the top commenter wrote. "I respect you for thinking of your son's feelings. A betrayal like that, and I'd never want to look at that child again."

They also questioned why Andrew was able to have an affair with his brother's wife, but unable to find himself a job in the time since he lost his previous one.
"If Andrew is able bodied enough to have an affair with his brother's wife, then he's able bodied enough to get a job and support himself — and not try to get busybodies from around the world to harass you after you housed him rent free for two years without any thanks," another top commenter wrote.
Getting cheated on is a terrible feeling, but having a sibling be the one responsible makes it all that much more damaging.

Part of the joy when buying a guitar is finding something a little bit special. Unfortunately, we don't all have pockets deep enough to splash out on a custom shop or hand-built model. This is where Fender FSR or "Limited Edition" models come into their own.
What is a Fender/Squier FSR model?
The term "FSR" stands for Fender Special Run. The FSR tag covers models that are endowed with unique appointments at affordable prices. From exotic tonewood combinations to elaborate electronics configurations and unusual hardware setups, no idea is beyond the pale.
It used to be the case that FSR models were derived from collaborations between teams across Fender USA and Japan. But with Squier having the FSR treatment it has become a truly global party. Not only that but they're more affordable than ever.
Let's take a look at some of the unique models on offer.
The Fender FSR '72 Telecaster Custom Bigsby is a flashback to the 1972 model offering features rarely seen on a Tele'. The solid alder body has the classic single-cutaway design we've all come to know and love. Coupled with a steady maple neck featuring a comfortable "C"-shape profile that feels substantial in the hand. The 21-fret maple fingerboard provides a smooth playground for your fingers to explore.
Fat and saturated mids flow forth from the Fender "Wide Range" humbucker in the neck position, whilst classic country licks shine thanks to the Classic Series' single-coil Tele' pickup in the bridge position. Between the two you have a plethora of tones at your disposal.
Executing seamless vibrato is a joy thanks to the Bigsby tailpiece. The flush connection between the strings and body promotes steadfast sustain. Thus, from subtle inflections to shimmering vibrato, the dynamics of your performance translate beautifully.
The Fender FSR Made In Japan Traditional Midnight Stratocaster is the essence of cool with a sophisticated black body artwork with matching headstock. Built in Japan to exacting specs, the Midnight Strat' comprises a lightweight basswood body and "U"-shaped maple neck. Complete with a luxurious rosewood fingerboard which enhances the broody aesthetic, whilst promoting a sublime tactile response.
A trio of Classic Strat' pickups generate a versatile tonal palette to play with. So, whether you're tackling smooth jazz licks, rapid fire rock riffs or laid-back funk, you have a universe of tones to explore. Gig-ready vintage-style tuning machines and a 6-saddle synchronized tremolo bridge await.
Each model includes a gig bag to encourage you to get out and performing immediately.
The Fender FSR '70s Precision Bass Guitar is another subtle nod to a classic '70s model with premium appointments abound. This includes the vintage-style bridge to the open-gear tuning machines.
The beautiful ash body is protected by gloss to enable the natural grain of the tonewood to shine, whilst the understated black pickguard complements the finish perfectly. This is complemented by a chunky '70s "C"-profile maple neck to promote an enthusiastic playability. You can also race through licks with ease thanks to the bound maple fingerboard, which affords seamless transitions between frets.
The period-correct single-coil pickup makes the most of the tonewood combination and, thanks to the intuitive control, you can tailor and tweak your output from thick and meaty low-end funkiness to high and tight brightness.
A deluxe gig bag keeps your pride and joy safe and sound when you're out and about.
The Squier FSR Bullet Telecaster offers a tasty Tele' for everyone from beginner to pro to enjoy. Offered in a range of three colours including Lake Placid Blue, Red Sparkle and Surf Green, the guitar punches well above its price point.
The lightweight alder body shapes to the classic single-cutaway body profile we've all come to know and love. This is complemented by a steady hardwood neck, which is treated to a polyurethane finish that enables you hand to move at lightning speed. The Indian laurel fingerboard is home to 21 frets that are begging to be explored so, from speedy country inspired hybrid picking to slow and smooth blues riffage, your fingers will settle into a natural groove.
A pair of standard Telecaster single-coil pickups offer a bountiful tonal banquet to feast on and the simple yet intuitive tone layout complements dynamic performers. If you're new to the guitar then you'll find your feet in no time at all.
Finally, the Squier FSR Bullet Mustang HH is a budget-friendly, gig-ready and tonally flexible workhorse. The offset design has been a go-to for alternative and indie rockers including Kurt Cobain, John Frusciante and David Byrne.
If you're looking to experiment with your sound then the tonal versatility makes this is great guitar choice. A pair of humbuckers generate everything from beefy and saturated to clean and crisp. So, whether you deftly pick out single-note melodies or lay down a thunderous wall of noise, the FSR Bullet Mustang makes it so much fun to do.

Feel free to invite a mate or two and don't forget kids are welcome too!

October 4 U.s. And Canada Sign Free Trade Agreement
Nafta is technically a free trade area, but with certain attributes of a customs union – in which Member States maintain the same obligations and rules with regard to third countries – and also with certain attributes of a common market that allows the free movement of factors of production (labour and capital) between Member States. For example, these attributes are the pressure on Canada and Mexico to comply with U.S. tariffs; Detailed rules of origin that require high North American content for a wide range of consumer products; liberalisation of trade in services, including financial services and capital flows in general; and to improve the international free flow of services and businessmen and many professionals. Resource-sharing agreements (particularly between Canada and the United States) also indicate a common market. During the negotiations, Canada retained the right to protect its cultural industries and sectors such as education and health. Some resources, such as water, should also be removed from the agreement. Canadians have failed to win free competition for U.S. government procurement. Canadian negotiators also emphasized the inclusion of a dispute resolution mechanism. [14] Traditionally, free trade negotiations have focused on the removal of tariffs and quantitative restrictions on trade in goods. But for Canadians who wanted to export or export to the United States, tariffs were not the main concern. Even before the free trade agreement, 80 per cent of Canadian shipments were duty-free and less than 10 per cent of exports faced U.S.
tariffs of more than 5 per cent. Many of them were clothing, textiles, shoes and some petrochemicals. (Some commodities continued to face tariffs so high that they were not sold in the United States at all.) From 1935 to 1980, the two nations concluded a series of bilateral trade agreements that sharply reduced tariffs in both countries. [5] The most important of these agreements was the 1960s automotive trade agreement (also known as the auto pact). [6] [7] A key element of the agreement was the elimination of tariffs, the removal of many non-tariff barriers and one of the first trade agreements on trade in services. It also included a dispute resolution mechanism for a fair and timely resolution of trade disputes. The free trade agreement was concluded in 1988 and NAFTA extended most of the provisions of the free trade agreement to Mexico. NAFTA was negotiated by the governments of U.S. President George H.W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Mexican Prime Minister Carlos Salinas de Gortari. An interim agreement on the pact was reached in August 1992 and signed by the three heads of state and government on 17 December. NAFTA was ratified by the national parliaments of the three countries in 1993 and came into force on January 1, 1994.
In May 1986, Canada and the United States began negotiations for a bilateral free trade agreement. An agreement was reached in October 1987. It became the most important theme of the Canadian election in the fall of 1988. Prime Minister Brian Mulroney`s Conservative government supported the agreement and won the election. The agreement came into force on January 1, 1989. THE TRADE AGREEMENTS EVOLUTIONA visual study of more than 800 trade agreements signed between 1947 and 2016. In March 2014, a larger free trade agreement was reached with South Korea – Canada`s first such agreement with an Asia-Pacific nation.

Why Momentum Matters More in Trading than Football
Profits are always a positive, but momentum, timing, and confidence are also key for traders
Let me just take this opportunity, as your self-appointed "momentum" spotter, to highlight yet another case of "momentum" being used as an inaccurate shorthand for "the actual effect of plays on a football field."
About an hour and half before Dez Bryant's Immaculate Non-Reception, the Cowboys attempted a long field goal with about 30 seconds left in the half. It missed. The Packers then got quickly into range and hit their own field goal attempt. The Cowboys' lead went from (potentially) 17-7 to 14-10. And, of course, the announcers couched the turn of events in "what a change in momentum!" terms.
But here's the deal. According to the win probability calculator at AdvancedFootballAnalytics.com, that sequence of events dropped the Cowboys' win probability from 74% to 55%, by the simple virtue of a 10-point lead (that never happened) dropping to a 4-point lead. That considers nothing of the theoretical after-effects of the plays, just simply the difference between the two ... differentials.
So I just want to make myself clear: I do believe in the concept of momentum, just not in how it's defined ad nauseum by football announcers. The effect of a big play itself dwarfs any sort of "momentum" generated from the play.
In our trading/investing world, it's a bit different. I wrote recently on momentum as it pertains to stocks and indexes themselves. But a better example is how it affects our actual trading.
If you've ever traded actively, you know the feeling of how momentum -- or "timing," or "confidence" -- can come and go. Some days, you just feel it. It's intangible, but it's there. You like a stock or a future, and you get a nice entry price. You take half the position off an hour later, then buy it back profitably, and you're in a groove. The name backs and fills and rides an upwards channel and before you know it, you've had a terrific trading day.
Unfortunately, we've all sat on the other side of that sort of trade, too. You buy, it doesn't work, you stop yourself out for a loss near the bottom, you buy again -- and again, it goes against you. You swear off the name, and struggle to find a good entry in another name. Part of the struggle is because you've lost confidence and timing, thanks to the first couple of bad flips that are still bothering you. Or maybe you so want to erase the loss(es) that you lower your criteria a bit, and push into a trade with a mediocre setup.
There's also that trade you just miss. You had the right idea but it got away before you could get in. Instead of rolling as above, you're starting from scratch again.
And finally, there's the error. That winner you nailed out of the gate never actually happened. The stock "printed" in error ... or whatever. When I was a floor trader, brokers would sometimes come back a few minutes later and say they executed the wrong side and they'd like an "out." And since it's a guy you work with, you do him the favor. It's all fine and good, but maybe now you're on the hook for the hedge against that trade.
One of the first lessons I ever learned was to just close errors immediately, take the hit, and move onto the next trade. Why? Because timing as a trader is indeed that important. If you're still worried about getting whole on that last trade, you're missing the next one.
So yes, I very much believe in momentum -- just not the dumbed-down version we get fed every weekend. The most important aspect of a single trade could very well be the momentum/timing/confidence derived from that trade. The "booked" profit is nice, but unlike a football play, the after-effects may end up mattering more in the long run than the results of the play itself.

Deifying Gandhi: National Icons and Moral Authority
Emily Vork is a sophomore majoring in History, Religious Studies, and American Studies. This post was written in response to viewing Lage Raho Munna Bhai as part of Dr. Sarah Rollens' course, REL 360: Popular Culture/Public Humanities.
What makes a person worthy of being treated as a national icon? There are so many people who show up throughout history and stand out, even today. They remain in the collective mind of a region—or a nation, or the world—and history looks fondly upon them. Towards the top of the list of internationally-recognizable names is Gandhi—the famous nonviolence activist from India. But, of course, you already knew that.
At a recent REL 360 Movie Night, Dr. Ramey chose to show us a Bollywood romantic comedy that heavily featured Gandhi. The film, Lage Raho Munna Bhai, follows the transformation of a violent thug into a follower of Gandhi's nonviolent ethics as he pursues a lovely radio host. It's an adorable story, but at the same time, it evokes some interesting discussion regarding the deification of prominent figures. In the movie, Gandhi appears as a sort of apparition to the main character. He is regarded in an almost god-like way, with many of the characters referring to him and his teachings with an air of infallibility. At one point, Gandhi tells the main character a story of Gandhi's youth in which he stole from his brother. The main character is shocked to hear this—how could Gandhi steal? It's as though Gandhi is not considered to be an ordinary human being; he is treated as something far superior. Gandhi, in this way, has been deified.
This made me think about other people whom we tend to put on a pedestal. As a scholar of not only Religious Studies, but also American Studies and History, my mind immediately jumped to the Founding Fathers. Who is placed higher on the American pedestal than George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and good ol' Honest Abe? (Lincoln is not typically included in lists of Founding Fathers, but he is still frequently invoked as a moral example alongside Washington, Jefferson, and others). American society looks back upon these men as the quintessential Americans. Their honorable traits are emphasized—and perhaps, to some extent, exaggerated—while their questionable traits are minimized or completely ignored. These men are thought to embody the ideal culture of the United States, and they are often lifted to a position of godlike nature.
In the same way, Lage Raho Munna Bhai painted a portrait of Gandhi that made him the "ideal Indian". The rhetoric of the film continually criticized the current bureaucratic and seemingly corrupt state of India, saying instead that Gandhi had it right. Gandhi, then, stood for everything that is good and everything that is truly Indian. Gandhi, with all of his goodness and infallibility, became deified just as the Founding Fathers do in America.
But who deifies him, and for what reasons? Who says what is "truly Indian" or what is India's moral standard? Perhaps no one person can determine who is remembered throughout history, but people can certainly utilize these figures for their own ends—something that happens in America regularly. There is a certain national, historical narrative that also becomes the moral narrative. Honest Abe and Never-Tell-a-Lie Washington clearly tell us to be honest, and we listen because they've been deified—just like Gandhi.
Nationalism encourages these kinds of treatments of historical figures. Some people are lifted up, some are pushed down, and others are completely ignored. To a certain extent, those who are remembered become deities in a "civil religion". The American civil religion glorifies the presidents, Civil Rights leaders, influential military figures, and many others. Lage Raho Munna Bhai shows that civil religion is not unique to America in existence or in practice—Gandhi is treated the same way that American figures are treated: his birthday is a national holiday; he is the moral standard for Indian existence; and in some cases, he is used to promote political agendas. Civil religion, then, is not necessarily just a national interest, but a global interest.

What if? What if we were able to share information with the power to revolutionise the current rare disease landscape? What if we could provide solutions to patients now, answering their pressing questions about their disease and treatment? What if we had the knowledge to prevent misdiagnosis and help eliminate fear of the unknown? Rare disease patients and their families are tired of waiting for answers.
With the current gaps in rare disease knowledge, the Cambridge Rare Disease Network (CRDN) believes now is the time to connect the dots and generate ideas leading to possible solutions. Setting out to make a transformational contribution to the rare disease community, the CRDN successfully hosted a pivotal 2017 summit meeting. This milestone educational event aspired to drive collaboration and innovation, and, ultimately, redefine the journey travelled by patients with rare diseases, by empowering connectivity among a small group of rare disease experts.
Over 200 delegates attended, with more than 20 new working collaborations created and consolidated, and 100% of delegates saying they would recommend the summit to others. The meeting proved that with the right mix of minds and the right stimuli, the outcome can be inspired thinking.
Havas Life Medicom and Cambridge Rare Disease Network delivered a lot on a tight budget, which was particularly impressive. It was fantastic that new working collaborations were formed from the meeting.

My commentary below was prompted by this letter published earlier today by Liz Morrish in the Times Higher Education. Since yesterday there has been a concerted effort by UCU and the Guardian to expose the crude exploitation of half of the academic staff in Universities in the UK. Adding to the insult, managers 'disappear' through restructuring permanent positions. The issue is whether Professors should be fired when they do not produce the outputs requested by their 'bosses' (sic).
University management calls in academic for performance management – UK, 2016.
The period from starting training as a Ph.D. student until one reaches promotion to a professorship spans a couple of decades during which the individual becomes an expert in a field of science. This development is by no means a triviality, it forms the basis of the professorial experience, upon which knowledge is built, scrutinized and safeguared, transmitted and applied. When professors are asked to go either because they did not make an announcement deemed "fancy" in certain venues or because their application for funding was rejected (often with comments that the research proposal was very good, but there was insufficient money to support all deserving applications), entire scientific fields are weakened, sometimes even turn extinct. This irreplaceable loss and ensuing damage remains largely unappreciated in the current modus operandi in the UK.
A second issue, somewhat better recognised but nevertheless not corrected, is that breakthroughs in knowledge almost always require concentration, time and effort and also depend on collaborations between scientists that dedicate such concentration, time and effort towards understanding. University positions used to offer such a possibility, they clearly fail to do so in the current model, as they put immense pressure for immediate responses.
There are two further reasons why the destruction of the universities in the UK is not widely understood. First, because those who speak out are almost always sidelined, sometimes to the extent of seeing their careers destroyed, instilling fear to express one's views (the inconsistency of this fear with holding an academic position should be discussed more openly). Second, because those who call the game of the day (grants, papers, etc.) always reward a minority, which is then presented as the cream of the cream and compared favourably against metrics generated to reward precisely such a minority. Hence, all good academics not meeting targets are then viewed as failures and hence they self-sensor.
The decline of higher education in the United Kingdom is slow, because it has a great tradition that still has an influence despite the present attacks. The consequences of the present folly, that affect the wellbeing of this generation's academic body, will result in a weakened society in the following generation, when painfully-built expertise, honesty and knowledge will be found lacking.
"There is, however, an important additional dimension: "permanent" jobs at universities are often permanent in name only. Two rather different examples: last year, my own department declared a young lecturer redundant less than two years after employing her on a permanent contract. At roughly the same time, Wolverhampton University made 19 full professors redundant from "permanent" posts because, Times Higher Education reported, its vice-chancellor said it was "refocusing and reducing staff numbers in some areas of activity whilst growing in other areas".


Prejudice and bias comes with our genes. Why? Not trusting the outsider or different is a primitive survival tool. Both are unknowns. When the world was young and dark, dangerous unknowns threatened. The fear lingers on at an uncounscious level.
Studies show that at heart the human race prefers being kind, caring and fair; the problem lies in who we feel deserves to be treated as we want to be treated. The known matter more than the unknown.
As you go about your day, think about who you don't know and cast outside of your circle of care.

My Husband, Somewhere in Orbit
ISO My Husband, Somewhere in Orbit
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, staying in touch with her high-flying hubby, astronaut Mark Kelly.
» Links to this article
By Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts
Tuesday, June 3, 2008; Page C03
After a busy weekend, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords flew into BWI yesterday, took the train to Union Station, then ran into a bar searching for a TV.
"I pleaded with the bartender, who had it tuned to some sports station, with a straight face: 'My husband is the commander of space shuttle Discovery. They're in the process of rendezvousing with the international pace station. May I please turn the channel?' " Giffords told us. "He looked a little confused and handed me the remote."
The Arizona Democrat, who turns 38 on Sunday, became a NASA spouse when she married 44-year-old astronaut Mark Kelly in November. The two have maintained a long-distance marriage ever since: she in Tucson and D.C.; he in Houston -- and for the next 11 days, 218 miles out in space. She'll watch him on the news every day, and wear her Christmas gift: a meteorite he had made into a pendant for her.
Giffords was in Florida for Saturday's launch and will return on June 14 for the landing. In between, they'll make do with short e-mails ("Obviously, he's a little busy") and calls to her cellphone. (Extra roaming charges?) Family members get to pick the music that wakes the crew; Giffords selected "A Life on the Ocean Wave," the theme of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (Kelly's alma mater) and "Crystal Frontier" by the Tucson-based band Calexico.
This is Kelly's third trip into space. He's shepherding a $1 billion space lab, a pump to repair a broken toilet, a Buzz Lightyear doll and two items from his bride: a flag from the National Day of the Cowboy Organization ("I just thought we needed cowboy representation up there") and her wedding band, inscribed: You're the closest to heaven that I've ever been."And he would know," she said.

False accusation of an employee being violent toward another employee are just as common or are even more common than the actual violence at workplace. This include physical violence as well as verbal threats of violence, including implied verbal threats such as "Next time, I don't know what I am going to do to you…," and similar statements.
Accusations of violence at workplace are typically grounds for immediate suspension or termination of employment. It is a hurtful and frustrating experience to be accused of something that you haven't done. It is not uncommon for an employee who has been falsely accused of violence by his co-worker to "lose it" at a deposition or during the testimony at the arbitration, engaging in a heated argument with the opposing side or their attorney, and thus actually demonstrating to the other side and the judge/arbitrator that the employee has a short temper and might have potential for violence at workplace.
However, if you are determined to prove that the accusations against you are meritless prevail in a legal claim against your employer, related to false violence accusations, it is crucial that you prove through your subsequent actions that you are anything but violent. Maintaining calm, rational, reasonable composure throughout your subsequent communications and/or legal proceedings after suspension and termination is a very important part in compelling the employer to doubt the allegations made against you, and revisit the decision to fire you under the risk of being sued for wrongful termination based on defamation. Do not allow lies and fabrications with regard to your violent behavior to emotionally destabilize you and make you come across as a potentially violent person, and this will be of significant help to any legal claims you might be pursuing in court or through a union arbitration.
California Civil Code sections 45 and 46 define libel and slander (written and oral statements which may constitute defamation). It has been consistently held in California over 60 years ago that libel includes, with certain limitations, almost any language, which, upon its face, has a natural tendency to injure a person's reputation either generally or with respect to his occupation. Washer v. Bank of America (1943).
The courts have held that while there is a strong public interest in allowing employers to freely and subjectively evaluate the performance of their employees according to their own unique standards and guidelines, even a performance review can be defamatory if it accuses an employee of criminal conduct, lack of integrity, dishonesty, incompetence, or reprehensible personal characteristics or behavior.
The critical part of any defamation claim is demonstrating that the defamatory language used by the employer was an assertion of fact or not an opinion. Thus, when the employer describes an employee in the performance review as "poor communicator" or "lacking in focus" – these are highly subjective statements of opinion that cannot constitute defamation. An assessment of skills, habits and personal qualities is necessarily an expression of an opinion by the evaluating body.
False statements and accusations (defamation) by one employee or a supervisor against another employee are not uncommon at California workplace and often lead to the unfounded and unsubstantiated discipline, suspension, demotion and even termination of employment of the victim of defamation. The tort of defamation involves a publication of facts that is false, defamatory, unprivileged, and has a natural tendency to injure an employee's reputation or cause special damages. Taus v. Loftus (2007) 40 C4th 683, 720. The "publication" element in this definition doesn't mean that the defamatory statement must actually be published in writing in some kind of newspaper or brochure. For the purposes of alleging a defamation action, publication occurs when a statement is communicated to any person other than a party defamed. Kelly v. General. Telephone Co. 136 Cal.App.3d 278 (1982).
Defamation per se is a special kind of defamation which does not require the claimant to prove special damages / economic harm as a result of the statements made as otherwise required when bringing an action for defamation. Statements are defamatory per se if they tend to directly injure plaintiff in respect to his office, profession, trade or business, by imputing to him general disqualification in those respects which the office or other occupation specifically requires or charge the plaintiff with a crime.
Thus, stating that an employee made a $100,000 mistake in estimating a bid is defamatory per se because it would tend to injure plaintiff by imputing incompetence in his or her trade. Gould v. Maryland Sound Industries, Inc. (1995) 31 CA4th 1137, 1153-4. Likewise, accusing an employee of conduct that constitutes a crime, such as embezzlement or forgery, is slander per se. Kelly v. General Tel. Co. at 284.
It is not unlikely for employees to have their words and/or conduct to be misinterpreted by their co-workers and have their colleague accuse them of sexual harassment without sufficient reason. An employer has a duty to investigation all sexual harassment allegations. Failure to do so may subject the employer to liability for both sexual harassment and failure to prevent sexual harassment. However, employee accused of harassing often feel helpless and without remedy to prove their innocence.
An employee who is falsely accused of sexual harassment is not without remedy however. That employee is also entitled to a prompt, thorough investigation of the facts and evidence of any alleged harassment. If the employer fails to conduct thorough investigation and instead summarily terminates a worker, he / she may have a defamation claim against the employer. Generally, false complaints of harassment and discrimination are conditionally privileged and do not constitute defamation, unless those accusation are made with malice. To show malice on the part of the accuser, the accused may be able to show whether the accuser had a history personal issues/hostility toward the accused, a pattern of unfounded complaints against co-workers, or any other ulterior, personal motive against the accused. If malice is shown, the liability for defamation of character may be attached to both the employer and employee personally.
If you believe that you have been a victim of defamation at workplace, contact Arkady Itkin – San Francisco employment lawyer to discuss your claims.
Is negative job performance evaluation a defamation?


the employer (or associated person) does not incur costs equal to the full administrative costs of the scheme, but the surplus of the scheme is applied to meet contribution liabilities, expense payments (including administrative costs), or both, and the employer incurs costs at least equal to the difference between that applied surplus and the administration costs.
Small employer superannuation schemes. The key differences from the other employer superannuation schemes are that these schemes may have more than 1 unassociated participating employer, but must have total assets of less than $5 million and have been in existence on 1 October 1997. This exemption is similar to that previously contained in regulation 2C of the Securities Regulations 1983 before they were amended by the Securities Amendment Act 2004. These schemes would have come within the exemption in section 5A of the Securities Act 1978 except for the reasons (set out above) applying to the other employer superannuation schemes or because they have more than 1 unassociated participating employer.
for a transitional period of 3 months, small employer superannuation schemes may continue to use the statement warning of restricted disclosure in the form previously required by the Securities Regulations 1983.
These exemptions do not apply to employer superannuation schemes that are already exempt under section 5A of the Securities Act 1978.
However, there is an additional transitional exemption for small employer superannuation schemes (as previously defined in regulation 2C of the Securities Regulations 1983) that were previously exempt under section 5(2E) of the Securities Act 1978 but are exempt now under section 5A of the Act. As with small employer superannuation schemes relying on this notice, for 3 months these schemes may continue to use the statement warning of restricted disclosure in the form previously required by the Regulations.
Employer superannuation schemes are exempted from the requirement for a registered prospectus under section 5A of the Securities Act 1978, as a result of amendments made with effect from 15 April 2004 by the Securities Amendment Act 2004. It was intended that this exemption would be available to all single-employer superannuation schemes (that is, not master trusts) where the employer meets the costs of administering the scheme.
Until the amendments were made, the Act used to provide an exemption from the registered prospectus requirement for "small employer superannuation schemes" (as previously defined in the Securities Regulations 1983). However, some small employer schemes that were covered by the previous exemption, were unintentionally excluded from the definition of "employer superannuation scheme" in the amended legislation.
In addition, some schemes (other than small employer superannuation schemes) which meet the policy of the amended legislation were not included in the definition of "employer superannuation scheme" in the amended legislation.
relatives, spouses, de facto partners, or dependants of those employees.
This exemption, which expires on 23 October 2004, applies to small employer superannuation schemes as previously defined in regulation 2C of the Securities Regulations 1983 until the Securities Amendment Act 2004 came into force on 15 April 2004, and that are now exempt under section 5A of the Securities Act 1978. Every superannuation trustee of a small employer superannuation scheme, and every person acting on the trustee's behalf, is exempted from clause 1(2) of Schedule 3D of the Regulations.
if there is a shortfall for a financial year, the promoter of the scheme and/or associated persons, will incur costs in respect of that year that are at least equal to the amount of the shortfall.
a statement as to the amount, if any, of a shortfall that was met by the scheme's promoter or associated person.
any member of the superannuation scheme must receive a description of the investment objectives and policy for the scheme, or of the means for making changes to these, within 5 working days of requesting this information.
The exemption for employer superannuation schemes is subject to the further condition that the above terms of the offer are included in the investment statement. Small employer superannuation schemes have a transition period until 23 October 2004 before they are required to include these offer terms in the investment statement.
The exemption for employer superannuation schemes is also subject to the condition that the investment statement includes a warning statement about restricted disclosure, in the form set out in the notice.
The exemption for small employer superannuation schemes is also subject to the condition that the investment statement includes a warning statement about restricted disclosure. This statement should be in the form set out in the notice, except for a transitional period which ends on 23 October 2004. During this period, small employer superannuation schemes may provide the warning statement in the form previously set out in clause 1(2) of Schedule 3D of the Regulations.
The transitional exemption for small employer superannuation schemes as previously defined in regulation 2C of the Regulations is subject to the condition that the investment statement includes a warning statement in the form previously set out in clause 1(2) of Schedule 3D of the Regulations.
The Commission considers that the purpose of section 5A of the Securities Act 1978 is to grant an exemption from the requirement to have a registered prospectus to employer superannuation schemes where the costs of the scheme are met by the employer. Some schemes meet this policy purpose, but are unable to comply with the terms of the statutory exemption for various technical reasons. The Commission considers that it is consistent with the purpose of the Act to grant an exemption to extend the effect of the exemption in section 5A of the Act to these schemes, and to schemes that previously enjoyed the benefit of the section 5(2E) exemption for small employer superannuation schemes before the Securities Amendment Act 2004 came into force.
The Commission is of the view that it is appropriate to have a transitional period in which issuers of schemes that previously enjoyed the benefit of the exemption in the Securities Regulations 1983 for small employer superannuation schemes can rely on the exemption from the requirement to have a registered prospectus while using their existing investment statements. The content of those existing investment statements is sufficiently similar to the content required under the new exemptions that the benefit of immediately preparing new investment statements is outweighed by the cost of doing so.

Q: Como enviar vários valores com inputs de mesmo nome O problema é o seguinte, eu tenho uma tabela html que é preenchida dentro de um while numa consulta ao BD, nessa tabela alguns campos são inputs e eu preciso inserir os dados digitados nesse input no meu BD.
Estava pensando em recebe-los em um outro arquivo php por POST, só que dessa forma como os names são iguais acho que não iria dar muito certo.
Não sei se consegui explicar direito, mas vou deixar o código:
while ($linha = mysqli_fetch_array($notas, MYSQLI_ASSOC))
{
    $cpfAluno = $linha["Aluno_CPF"];

    $pegaNomeAluno = "SELECT Nome FROM aluno WHERE CPF = '$cpfAluno' ORDER BY Nome";
    $nomeAluno = mysqli_query($con, $pegaNomeAluno);
    $alunoArray = mysqli_fetch_array($nomeAluno, MYSQLI_ASSOC);
    $aluno = implode(', ', (array)$alunoArray);

    echo "
";
        echo "";
            echo $aluno;
        echo "	";
        echo "";
            echo "<input id='prova1'  maxlength='2' size='1' name='prova1' class='form-control'>";
        echo "	";
        echo "";
            echo "<input id='prova2'  maxlength='2' size='1' name='prova2' class='form-control'>";
        echo "	";
        echo "";
            echo "<input id='media'  maxlength='2' size='1' name='media' class='form-control'>";
        echo "	";
    echo "
";
}

A: Para enviar vários campos com o mesmo nome, basta tratá-los como um array. Para isso, coloque colchetes na frente do name.
Veja
while ($linha = mysqli_fetch_array($notas, MYSQLI_ASSOC))
{
    $cpfAluno = $linha["Aluno_CPF"];

    $pegaNomeAluno = "SELECT Id, Nome FROM aluno WHERE CPF = '$cpfAluno' ORDER BY Nome";
    $nomeAluno = mysqli_query($con, $pegaNomeAluno);
    $alunoArray = mysqli_fetch_array($nomeAluno, MYSQLI_ASSOC);
    $aluno = implode(', ', (array)$alunoArray);

    echo '
';
        echo '';
            echo $aluno;
            echo '<input type="hidden" id="aluno_id_' . $aluno['id'] . '" value="' . $aluno['id'] . '" name="aluno_id[]" class="form-control">';
        echo '	';
        echo '';
            echo '<input type="text" id="prova1_' . $aluno['id'] . '"  maxlength="2" size="1" name="prova1[' . $aluno['id'] . ']" class="form-control">';
        echo '	';
        echo '';
            echo '<input type="text" id="prova2_' . $aluno['id'] . '"  maxlength="2" size="1" name="prova2[' . $aluno['id'] . ']" class="form-control">';
        echo '	';
        echo '';
            echo '<input type="text" id="media_' . $aluno['id'] . '"  maxlength="2" size="1" name="media[' . $aluno['id'] . ']" class="form-control">';
        echo '	';
    echo '
';
}

Observe que coloquei no name colchetes preenchidos com o id do aluno (name="media[' . $aluno['id'] . ']") e coloquei tambem no ID da tag HTML para evitar que exista ID duplicados e quebre a regra do HTML que caso isso aconteça deixa o código inválido.
Adicionei também os tipos de campo, text e hidden. Não especificá-los alem de invalidar, deixa o código menos legível.
O campo hidden eu adicionei para facilitar o tatamento dos dados ao inserir no banco de dados. E para recuperar e tratar os dados recebidos, faça:
$alunoId = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'aluno_id', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT);
$prova1 = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'prova1', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT);
$prova2 = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'prova2', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT);
$media = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'media', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT);
foreach ( $alunoId as $id ) {
    $prova1[$id]; // Recupera o valor de "prova1" do aluno com o id na váriável $id
    $prova2[$id]; // Recupera o valor de "prova2" do aluno com o id na váriável $id
    $media[$id]; // Recupera o valor de "media" do aluno com o id na váriável $id
    // Faça a lógica do banco de dados aqui.
}

Para recuperar as variáveis recebidas via post, utilizei a função filter_input para garantir um pouco mais de segurança para a aplicação, porem caso não importe para você, poderá usar a variável global $_POST sem problemas, só tenha em mente que não é a maneira mais correta de se fazer.

A:
Exemplo de Solução

Aqui apresento uma maneira de fazer utilizando os elementos do DOM com javascript. Repare que armazenei esses dados em um vetor bidimensional onde cada posição é um registro de aluno.
[
   [
      "nome","nota1","nota2"
   ]

]

Após armazenado os dados dessa maneira, é só fazer fazer uma chamada a um arquivo php pra inserir os dados no banco. Indico utilizar Jquery para fazer essa chamada.
Relembrando que isso é apenas um exemplo que pode te ajudar na solução do problema.

Veja funcionado aqui.

function getObjetos(){
var table = document.getElementById('table');
debugger;
var results = [];
for(var i =0 ; i < table.children.length ;i++){

  if(table.children[i].tagName == 'TBODY'){
    var tbody = table.children[i];
    for(var c =0;  c< tbody.children.length ; c++){
      if(tbody.children[c].nodeName=='TR'){
        var tr = tbody.children[c];
        var nome = tr.children[0].textContent;
        var n1 = tr.children[1].children[0].value;
        var n2 = tr.children[2].children[0].value;
        results.push( [nome,n1,n2]);

      }
    }
  }
}

console.log(results);
return false;
}
<form name="notas">

      Nome
      Nota1
      Nota2

      Marcos
      <input type="text" name="nota2" id="nota1" />
      <input type="text" name="nota2" id="nota2" />

      Alexandre
      <input type="text" name="nota2" id="nota1" />
      <input type="text" name="nota2" id="nota2" />

<input type="button" value="salvar" onclick="getObjetos()"/>
</form>
