Background: Mass gatherings require a decision from public health authorities on how to monitor infectious diseases during the event. The appropriate level of enhanced surveillance depends on parameters like the scale of the event (duration, spatial distribution, season), participants' origin, amount of public attention, and baseline disease activity in the host country. For the FIFA Men's World Cup 2006, Germany implemented enhanced surveillance. As the scale of the FIFA Women's World Cup (June 26 – July 17, 2011) was estimated to be substantially smaller in size, visitors and duration, it was not feasible to simply adopt the previously implemented measures. Our aim was therefore to develop a strategy to tailor an event-specific enhanced surveillance for this smaller-scale mass gathering. Methods: Based on the enhanced surveillance measures during the Men's Cup, we conducted a needs assessment with the district health authorities in the 9 host cities in March 2011. Specific measures with a majority consent were implemented. After the event, we surveyed the 9 district and their corresponding 7 state health authorities to evaluate the implemented measures. Results All 9 district health authorities participated in the pre-event needs assessment. The majority of sites consented to moving from weekly to daily (Monday-Friday) notification reporting of routine infectious diseases, receiving regular feedback on those notification reports and summaries of national/international World Cup-relevant epidemiological incidents, e.g. outbreaks in countries of participating teams. In addition, we decided to implement twice-weekly reports of "unusual events" at district and state level. This enhanced system would commence on the first day and continue to one day following the tournament. No World Cup-related infectious disease outbreaks were reported during this time period. Eight of 9 district and 6 of 8 state health authorities participated in the final evaluation. The majority perceived the implemented measures as adequate. Conclusions: Our approach to tailor an event-specific enhanced surveillance concept worked well. Involvement of the participating stakeholders early-on in the planning phase secured ownership of and guaranteed support for the chosen strategy. The enhanced surveillance for this event resulted as a low-level surveillance. However, we included mechanisms for rapid upscaling if the situation would require adaptations.

Q: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: rowIndex > available rows: 3 > 3 I am facing a problem using MpAndroidChart with Realm making graph and it throws an Exception. I want to have date of measuring on XAxis and body fat % on YAxis. I have looked into the Android Device Monitor and data is saved normaly, under id 1 correct String date and float fatPercent and under id 2 ...and so on. More info below. Here is my code:
public class DataFatPercent extends RealmObject {

    private float id;
    private String date;
    private float fatPercent;

    public DataFatPercent() {

    }

    public DataFatPercent(float id, String date, float fatPercent) {
        this.id = id;
        this.date = date;
        this.fatPercent = fatPercent;
    }

with setters and getters...
My activity:
public class FatGraphProgressActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    ImageView dodaj_podatke_grafu;
    private LineChart lineChart;
    Realm realm;
    RealmResults<DataFatPercent> results;

        AxisValueFormatter formatter = new AxisValueFormatter() {
            @Override
            public String getFormattedValue(float value, AxisBase axis) {
                return results.get((int) value).getDate();
            }

            @Override
            public int getDecimalDigits() {
                return 0;
            }
        };

        lineChart.getXAxis().setValueFormatter(formatter);

        RealmLineDataSet<DataFatPercent> lineDataSet = new RealmLineDataSet<>(results,"id","fatPercent");

        lineDataSet.setCircleSize(3.6f);

        ArrayList<ILineDataSet> dataSets = new ArrayList<>();
        dataSets.add(lineDataSet);

        LineData lineData = new LineData(dataSets);
        styleData(lineData);

        // set data
        lineChart.setData(lineData);
        lineChart.animateY(1400, Easing.EasingOption.EaseInOutQuart);

    }

And dialog,when I click on image to saveData:
public void save_data(){

        float id = 0;
        if(results.size()>0){
            id = results.max("id").floatValue();
        }
        newId = id + 1;
        String add_date = this.add_date.getText().toString();
        String percentoffat = add_fat_procent_data.getText().toString();
        float fat_percent_float = Float.parseFloat(percentoffat);

        realm.beginTransaction();
        dataFatPercent = new DataFatPercent(newId,add_date,fat_percent_float);
        podatkiOseb.getFatProcents().add(dataFatPercent);
        realm.commitTransaction();
        realm.close();

    }

    private View.OnClickListener click = new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            int id = v.getId();

            switch (id){
                case R.id.potrdiprocentmascobe:
                    save_data();

            }
            dismiss();
        }
    };

}

In short, it throws this error in method getFormattedValue:

Caused by: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: rowIndex >
  available rows: 3 > 3
                                                                                at io.realm.internal.TableView.nativeGetSourceRowIndex(Native Method)
                                                                                at io.realm.internal.TableView.getSourceRowIndex(TableView.java:128)

  com.example.draganmaric.tablayoutswipescroll.FatGraphProgressActivity$2.getFormattedValue(FatGraphProgressActivity.java:89)

I have also noticed, if I change in setData method
 results = realm.where(DataFatPercent.class).findAll();

with findallAsync, it doesn't throw exception(it opens activity), but I don't see any graph on the screen. Thanks for any advice

The 1998 Monaco Grand Prix was the sixth race in the 1998 Formula One Season. Mika Häkkinen achieved his second grand chelem at Monaco when he took pole position, fastest lap as well as leading every single lap of the race.
Heading into Monaco, it was announced that Arrows chief designer John Barnard had also joined Prost as a technical consultant, his company B3 Technologies taking over the manufacturing of Prost's carbon fibre suspensions. Despite Barnard's new role at Prost, he denied that anything was amiss with Arrows and would remain with the team to at least the end of the season. Prost team principal Alain Prost also announced an expression in interest for Michelin tyres for 1999, after expressing dissatisfaction with Bridgestone due to what was perceived as favouritism towards McLaren and Benetton.
In the week leading up to the Monaco Grand Prix, all the teams with the exception of Stewart were testing throughout Europe in preparation for the race. Goodyear would be releasing an updated wider rear-tyre for their teams in order to reduce the performance deficit to the Bridgestone teams.

Mika Häkkinen was the first of the front runners to come out of the pits for his timed lap, setting the initial provisional pole time of 1:21.375. There was a brief time of inactivity as the Tyrrell's and Arrows's were the only cars on track. Mika Salo in the Arrrows had looked competitive all weekend and was set for a strong qualifying.
Heinz-Harald Frentzen was the next of the front runners to go out setting provisional second in his Williams before it was immediately taken away by the feisty of Benetton of Giancarlo Fisichella who had set the fastest time in the morning practice. Ferrari were having a nightmare weekend, Michael Schumacher only set one lap in morning practice due to a fuel pump issue forcing him to use the spare car in qualifying. Nevertheless despite the mishaps Schumacher was immediately on the pace stealing third place from Fisichella, with the two McLaren's of Häkkinen and David Coulthard.
Twenty minutes into the session Coulthard took pole from Häkkinen with a 1:20.137 as Fisichella reclaimed third from Schumacher. Shortly afterwards Eddie Irvine suffered an accident whilst heading into rascasse, forcing him to temporarily abandon the session. With Schumacher in the spare car, Irvine was forced to compete in Schumacher's hastily repaired race car for the rest of the session. He finished qualifying in a lackluster seventh.
Häkkinen and Coulthard traded fastest times each stealing pole from one another until Häkkinen finally set a time of 1:19.798 which secured the final pole position time. Coulthard finished the session ahead of Fisichella and Schumacher.
Frentzen appeared reasonably competitive in his Williams taking fifth on the grid, teammate Jacques Villeneuve had a torrid session enroute to thirteenth on the grid. Villeneuve was on course to be higher, however the remarkably slow Tyrrell of Ricardo Rosset spun towards the end of the session, bringing out the red flags forcing not only Villeneuve but Schumacher and Coulthard to abandon their final quick laps. Rosset for the second race in a row would not qualify for the race.
Alexander Wurz was sixth ahead of Irvine and the impressive Mika Salo whose Arrows appeared to unfulfill its potential as Salo battled with a gearbox issue throughout qualifying.

As the lights went out, there was little change at the front of the field as the cars made their way through the first corner. Only Alexander Wurz in the Benetton made any progress, managing to pass Heinz-Harald Frentzen for fifth. The first retirement occured as the cars came up the hill into turn 3, Esteban Tuero's Minardi from last place ran wide and collided with the barriers bringing his day to an early end. Jean Alesi made a strong start climbing to ninth from eleventh at the end of the first lap, past teammate Johnny Herbert and Jarno Trulli. Herbert losing position to Trulli as well.
As the McLaren's seemed to customarily pull away from the rest of the field, Schumacher was seemingly being held up in fourth position by Giancarlo Fisichella's Benetton. However Häkkinen was unable to pull out as great an advantage over Coulthard as he had done in the past, Coulthard managing to set the fastest lap on lap 5 with a 1:25.118. Lap 6 saw Wurz who was baring down on Fisichella and Schumacher run wide coming out of the tunnel losing a little bit of time.
On lap 8 Coulthard set another fastest lap with a 1:24.888 quickly catching up to race leader Häkkinen. Meanwhile a battle for sixth commenced with the slow Williams of Heinz-Harald Frentzen holding up Eddie Irvine's Ferrari. Irvine stuck behind the Williams for a number of laps had allowed Mika Salo's Arrows to catch up to the pair. On lap 9, the frustrated Irvine made a dive up Frentzen's inside at the loewes hairpin, the overambitious move forced Frentzen off the circuit and into the barriers causing the Williams to retire.
Lap 11 saw Rubens Barrichello pull into the pits to retire due to a suspension failure. Coulthard on lap 12 set another fastest time of 1:23.489 followed two lap later by another fastest lap of 1:23.311. The two leaders by this time had caught up to the first set of backmarkers of Olivier Panis's Prost and Shinji Nakano's Minardi. On lap 16, Häkkinen responded to Coulthard's fastest time with a 1:22.996. The following lap Coulthard suffered a major engine failure coming out of the tunnel forcing him out of the race.
This meant that Häkkinen was left unchallenged at the front with a 19 second lead over Fisichella in second. Jarno Trulli led a battle for eighth place as Johnny Herbert and Pedro Diniz climbed over his rear. Further down the field Damon Hill and Ralf Schumacher duelled for fourteenth. Schumacher performed an illegal overtake on Hill cutting the corner after the tunnel, forcing to re-concede the position to Hill.
Lap 29 saw Häkkinen set another fastest lap of 1:22.948 as he further consolidated his lead. On lap 30, Michael Schumacher came into the pits for his first pit-stop losing a single position to Alexander Wurz. The same lap Jan Magnussen retired with suspension problem, a similar failure to teammate Barrichello. The following lap Fisichella came into the pits, however Schumacher with the undercut was able to overtake Fisichella in the pit-stop phase.
On lap 37 Häkkinen came in for his pit-stop, exiting the pits comfortably in the lead. By this time Schumacher had caught up to Wurz in second and began to apply the pressure. On lap 38 Schumacher dived up Wurz's insider at the loewes hairpin, Wurz refused to yield and the two touched. Schumacher however managed to force his way past in the following corner. However Schumacher in his manoeuvere, damaged his rear track rod forcing him into the pits. Schumacher exited the car as if to retire before immediately being told to re-enter the car by Ross Brawn. The Ferrari cars managed to repair the car and released Schumacher back onto the track albeit three laps down and well out of the points.
On lap 41 Wurz finally came into the pits for his first pit-stop, releasing teammate Fisichella back into second as Wurz exited in third position. As Wurz entered the tunnel on his out-lap, he lost control of his Benetton crashing into the barriers, as his car exited the tunnel it was already a wreck losing both his front wheels and flying uncontrollably into the barriers a big way at the nouvelle chicane. The cause of incident linked to a failure on a component of the car following his shunt with Schumacher.
Three laps later Ralf Schumacher retired from the race with rear suspension failure. By lap 45, Häkkinen had extended his lead to 27 seconds over Fisichella in second. Lap 49 saw Olivier Panis retire with a wheel issue. Seven laps later Jarno Trulli retired with gearbox failure. The same lap, Fisichella whilst racing in second place clipped the side of the inside barrier at rascasse forcing him to spin around. Luckily for him the car did not receive damage and his lead over Eddie Irvine in second was sufficient enough for him to retain his second position.
After suffering with a gearbox issue for a number of laps, Jean Alesi's Sauber retired on lap 72 from fifth position. The distraught Alesi fell to his knees beside the race track. This promoted Jacques Villeneuve into fifth position and Pedro Diniz into sixth.
On the final lap Michael Schumacher attempted to unlap himself from Pedro Diniz's Arrows on the final lap, Schumacher however botched the overtake and clipped the inside barrier losing his front wing.
Häkkinen after 78 laps took his fourth victory of the season, 11 seconds ahead of Fisichella in second. Irvine was the sole Ferrari to claim points in third. Villeneuve split the two Arrows cars of Mika Salo and Pedro Diniz who took a strong three points for the Arrows team.

Lacamoire's relationship with sound is complicated. Throughout high school at New World School of the Arts, Lacamoire, who has at least 15 percent hearing loss, refused to wear the aids because they made him feel different. When he's being photographed, he's still self-conscious about them.
And yet, Lacamoire's unique ear for music sets him apart.
He helped Lin-Manuel Miranda create the musical which won 11 Tony awards and netted Miranda a Pulitzer Prize. "Hamilton" is the story of founding father Alexander Hamilton, an orphaned immigrant who became the first U.S. Treasury Secretary, told in a rap musical by a multi-ethnic cast. In short, it's like nothing Broadway had ever seen.
tweetLinmanuel.jpg
And an anticipated documentary on the phenomenon, "Hamilton's America," part of PBS's Great Performances series, will debut tonight at 9 p.m. on WPBT.
"I often wonder if my handicap is actually an asset," he said. "My hearing loss makes me listen a little harder. It allows me to live in my own bubble. I can really focus in on music and tune out the world around me."
READ MORE: He was told as a boy he'd have to go to a deaf school—but he grew up to help make the music to "Hamilton"


How to win the sales armament race.
'Often when I get sales approaches I have fun with them; I look at the training they have been through and throw them a curve ball,' a client told me in a recent conversation.
When it comes to sales training it seems that everyone follows the herd, trying to arm their people more and faster, but ultimately with little effect. What's more, clients are not stupid and they go through the same training or inform themselves.
What happened in marketing and brand development in the early and mid 2000s is still happening in sales. Back then, customers started to shun the over-hyped, artificial brands and look for 'real' brands. A market research respondent said of one of our clients' brands 'it's so industrial, it doesn't feel real'. I reference this in a recent blog on ugly vegetables.
A brilliant example of a brand that transformed itself is the 'Real' people Dove campaign. And that has led to countless 'names' and designs that are attempting to look more 'real' or home made. These are brands that live off a strong vision and conviction.
We still miss this in sales! Still treat our customers as people who have to be 'sold to' instead of finding better ways to help customers 'want to buy' through a new, more real and more honest way of engaging. Neil Rackham, of SPIN Selling fame, admitted to one of our clients that 'if you don't have your customer's trust, no process will save you'.
So why not start with what we know is key, but never focused on?
Looking at how you build trust with customers (if you indeed do).
Understanding properly what customers would love to trust you for and then delivering on it.
You'd be surprised what you learn - including how much of your customers' trust you already have, but never knew about it or even thought it was important.
So if you want to be more successful (especially with younger clients), stop selling like it's 1999. Look at new and better ways to engage. New ways that are more successful for your organisation, your team and your customers.


A team of defence scientists says they have found a new way to detect sepsis earlier than ever before.
The form of blood poisoning kills more than 50,000 people per year, which is more than those who lose their life to prostate cancer or bowel cancer.
Following a decade of research, the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) has developed a new test to diagnose sepsis that could save more than six million lives each year.
Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening condition, triggered by an infection or injury. Without quick treatment, it can lead to multiple organ failure and death.
The World Health Organization says more than 30 million people are affected worldwide every year.
In recognition of their work, scientists at DSTL won the 2018 Military Awards' 'Innovation' category.
"Sepsis is the way the body responds to an infection, so it is always triggered by an infection but in sepsis the body's immune system goes into overdrive and if we don't stop it that starts to damage the organs and tissues," Dr Ron Daniels, Chief Executive of UK Sepsis Trust, explained.
Almost 150,000 people are admitted to hospital for sepsis treatment every year.
"We decided to think about alternative ways to diagnose infection.
"So instead of waiting for somebody to be ill, and become symptomatic, and have a short treatment window, we thought, why not try and treat them or diagnose them before they became ill," Dr Roman Lukaszewski, Diagnostics Fellow at DSTL, said.
Aiofe was diagnosed with sepsis when she was just a newborn.
Louise Davies' daughter, Aiofe, was diagnosed with sepsis when she was nine weeks old.
She made a full recovery after many days of careful treatment.
"Having this early intervention and having some way of defining yes, or no, is sepsis prevalent here, or not, is going to be an amazing thing," Louise Davies said.
"And stop more families having to be in positions like my family were on that day.
Sepsis survival rates can drop by as much as eight per cent every hour.
It is hoped that this innovative early warning system could lead to an increase in recovery and survival rates.


Now up for grabs are 12 places on the Local Authority Recycling Advisory Committee's (LARAC) 2006 Scholarship programme.
The scheme is open to new recycling officers who have worked in local authority recycling for less than five years, with a place available for each English region, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
On offer is attendance to the annual LARAC conference, accommodation and travel costs, with scholars able to attend the National Recycling Awards and Member's day free of charge.
Details of the application procedure can be found at www.larac.org.uk. The LARAC conference will be held in Bournemouth on November 14-16.

For most mammals, including nonhuman primates, diet composition varies temporally in response to differences in food availability. Because diet influences gut microbiota composition, it is likely that the gut microbiota of wild mammals varies in response to seasonal changes in feeding patterns. Such variation may affect host digestive efficiency and, ultimately, host nutrition. In this study, we investigate the temporal variation in diet and gut microbiota composition and function in two groups (N = 13 individuals) of wild Mexican black howler monkeys (Alouatta pigra) over a 10-month period in Palenque National Park, Mexico. Temporal changes in the relative abundances of individual bacterial taxa were strongly correlated with changes in host diet. For example, the relative abundance of Ruminococcaceae was highest during periods when energy intake was lowest, and the relative abundance of Butyricicoccus was highest when young leaves and unripe fruit accounted for 68 % of the diet. Additionally, the howlers exhibited increased microbial production of energy during periods of reduced energy intake from food sources. Because we observed few changes in howler activity and ranging patterns during the course of our study, we propose that shifts in the composition and activity of the gut microbiota provided additional energy and nutrients to compensate for changes in diet. Energy and nutrient production by the gut microbiota appears to provide an effective buffer against seasonal fluctuations in energy and nutrient intake for these primates and is likely to have a similar function in other mammal species.

KY newspaper blisters Mitch McConnell for violating his oath of office in impeachment proceedings
by Shannon Barber
Right now in the political world, all eyes are on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
After all, now that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the Democratic House of Representatives have decided to impeach U.S. President Donald Trump, it will be up to Senator McConnell to decide how to conduct the trial in the Senate. So far, it would seem that McConnell has one thing on his mind: Save the President.
Well, there is one entity that is not happy with that approach, and that is McConnell's home state major news paper, the Louisville Courier Journal.
McConnell, along with South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham who chairs the all-important Senate Judiciary Committee, has made no bones about what he intends to do when it comes to Trump's impeachment trial.
He intends to take his cues from the White House. There will be no fair trial, and McConnell, Graham, and the rest of the Republicans in the Senate will be helping make sure the defense – meaning the president – comes out on top.
McConnell's home state paper absolutely blistered him for this stance in an editorial.
The piece actually accused the Senate Majority Leader of violating his oath of office in his attempts to protect Trump at all costs.
The editorial, written by a native son of Kentucky who is now a law professor at Boston College, says of McConnell's Constitutional duties:
"The framers wanted to make sure the Senate would never take such a trial lightly — this oath requirement is over and above the oath each senator has already taken to support the Constitution. The Constitution does not set out the text of the trial oath, but the Senate rules do. Senators will 'solemnly swear… that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of Donald J. Trump, now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws: So help me God.'"
Greenfield continues:
"Short of declaring war, the Senate is about to conduct its gravest and most serious constitutional obligation — to exercise the 'sole power to try' impeachments," he concludes. "All senators should take their obligation of faithful impartiality seriously, especially McConnell. History is watching, and it will be a harsh judge."
Right now, McConnell and his GOP colleagues on Capitol Hill seem to care very little about how harsh a judge history will be. However, one thing is clear: The republic and its future depend on checks and balances, and it seems that in the Republican-led Senate, we are not dealing with a co-equal branch of government, but with an extension of Donald Trump's very corrupt White House.

Read Hitler it's a script written for Trump and I'll be damn if they're not following it Trump, Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham have been planning it for years but Trump wasn't supposed to be inpeached so that ruined the plans so Mitch McConnell hurried up and put the judges in place that's why Lindsey Grahams said he wouldn't be a fair juror and Mitch McConnell said he's working closely with the white house I also think that the senators knew of this plan some left cause they didn't want to be a part of it but they knew they're planning to overthrow the government Hitler started in politics and ended up being a dictator and that's Trump, Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham plan when you put all the pieces togather they fit
Patricia W Money says:
You're so right.
Carol Nelson says:
There is something very sinister about McConnell and Graham and the whole Republican Party! They are unAmerican and go easily against the constitution! They must be stopped at all cost for our democracy!!!!
Marie Dixon says:
These two senators are disgusting….there is a reason they are going to protect the president, what is being held over their head by the president….but these two should not be re-elected…if the shoe was on the other foot, they would crucify the president….they did exactly that with President Obama….these two are the most biggest racists people servicing this country….get them out of DC…vote them out….NOW before more damage is done.
He is a Hitler fan and always was. Did on one look at his background before they voted for him. He once said if he ran it would on a repub. Ticket because they were to stupid to know what's going on. Looks like he may have been right once in his life
Sidney Williams says:
The United States could'nt with stand 4 more years of Trump.
The fine patriotic citizens of Ky must act for their state. Mcconnell kisses the ring of king trump. Ditch Moscow mitch now. Ky deserves better!
Emma Cox says:
Biden and his son are not the witnesses that I need to hear from. I would like to hear from Bolton, Mulvaney, McGahn and Pompeo. They have direct knowledge of the crime. McConnell and Graham need to recuse themselves since they have already announced they are not impartial. Trump needs to be removed because he put his own interest above America, even though his oath of office requires him to protect America, from all enemies foreign and domestic. Asking a foreign country to give him info on a political opponent is illegal. Believing Putin over our own national security members is beyond rational reason.
George butler says:
It doesn't matter what they do because the people will have to last word come Election Day and remove all of them from office so if they try in cover up for this president the new senate will over turn it, and once this president is out office he will face criminal charges.
I say lock them all up
Willie Brown says:
Kentucky,stand up and do the right thing Remove Mitch the Bitch
Fredrick Williams says:
The Repuglicans of this country are " hell bent " on destroying our government, don't believe the rhetoric that they spew, instead watch what they do, all of their actions are counter to the ideals and things that are suppose to make this country " uniquely " different, not perfect by any means, could be demonstrably better, yes for sure, but the road to better should not be filled with landmines put in place by our elected officials, the current administration montra " MAGA ", as a minority in this country, I would like for someone to tell me and the other minorities in this country, " when and in what time frame was America great ???? I was taught about the founding fathers, the so-called pilgrims, as an adult I found out that these folks were actually the worst of the worst, kicked out of England by King George, these were the people whom ultimately laid the ground work for the formulation of this country, well; it is my belief that in the process, the misguided mindset of superiority became a very large part of said formulation, now here we are, the callous and reprehensible actions taken by the current administration is not by accident, it's by deliberate design, White America understands very clearly that they, for the 1st time in America, are now the minority, that is the reason why we are seeing major upticks in voting restrictions, brutal immigration policies, child separation policies, between Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians, this core ethnic group for the most part will vote Democratic, and the powers that be, are none to comfortable with that thought, they are good with the status quo, a few powerful, rich, White men setting all the tones and dictating all policies, unfortunately this is the America we now live in; a country of immigrants.

Q: I want to write a function that takes a list and returns in ascending order with out using the sort built in function I have tried this, but the problem is i dont know how to make the program compares each element with list to determine its order
a= [1,4,8,2,210,3]
def sorting(L):
for i in L:
    if i[0]<:
        print i[0]
sorting(a)

A: try making a new variable just to store temporary data and check in your if
for i in L:
    if i[i]<i[i+1]:
        temp = i[i]
        i[i] = i[i+1]

maybe loop through that a second time to recheck if its all in order

A: here is your technique:
a = [1,4,8,2,210,3]

newlist = []

while a:
    minimum = a[0]
    for x in a:
        if x < minimum:
            minimum = x
    newlist.append(minimum)
    a.remove(minimum)

print (newlist)

#[1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 210]

the code keeps removing the minimum from a and putting it into newlist, if you want it descending:
a = [1,4,8,2,210,3]

newlist = []

while a:
    maximum = a[0]
    for x in a:
        if x > maximum:
            maximum = x
    newlist.append(maximum)
    a.remove(maximum)

print (newlist)

#[210, 8, 4, 3, 2, 1]

if you want it in separate functions:
a = [1,4,8,2,210,3]

def ascending(data):
    newlist = []
    while data:
        minimum = data[0]
        for x in data:
            if x < minimum:
                minimum = x
        newlist.append(minimum)
        data.remove(minimum)
    return newlist

def descending(data):
    newlist = []
    while data:
        maximum = data[0]
        for x in data:
            if x > maximum:
                maximum = x
        newlist.append(maximum)
        data.remove(maximum)
    return newlist

a = ascending(a)
print ('Sorted in ascending order: ',a)

a = descending(a)
print ('Sorted in descending order: ',a)

simple program making use of min() and max() instead of going through the list one by one
def _sort(data,t):
    newlist = []
    if t == ('a'):
        while data:
            minimum = min(data)
            newlist.append(minimum)
            data.remove(minimum)
    elif t == ('d'):
        while data:
            maximum = max(data)
            newlist.append(maximum)
            data.remove(maximum)
    return newlist

def program():
    a=[]
    while True:
        print ('enter values to sort, type done when done')
        v=input('    >').lower().strip()
        if v == ('done'):
            break
        try:
            v = float(v)
            a.append(v)
            print ('numbers so far: ',', '.join(str(x) for x in a))
        except:
            print ('enter numerical value')
            continue

    while True:
        print ('enter "a" for sort ascending and "d" for sort descending')
        print ('enter "start" to go back to start')
        t=input('    >').lower().strip()
        if t == ('start'):
            program()
            return
        if not t == ('a') and not t == ('d'):
            continue
        a = _sort(a,t)
        print ('my sorted numbers: ',', '.join(str(x) for x in a))

At last! An FPV wing that takes minutes to assemble and get in the air. No glue required. Just screw on the wings and winglets/SFGs, plug in your receiver and you'll be ready to get the AR.Wing in the air. All the electronics are pre-installed. The 3 in 1 camera/transmitter/antenna drops into a recess in the front of the wing and there is plenty of space for a high definition camcorder such as a GoPro or RunCam in the forward nose compartment.
Filmed by Nic with the Panasonic AG-UX180 Pro 4K camcorder. Piloted by Dom Mitchell of 'Essential RC' YouTube channel.
