The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has issued the standard operating procedure for epidemiological surveillance and response to the new variant of the novel coronavirus in the context of regulated resumption of flights from the UK to India, January 8 onward.
The Civil Aviation Ministry announced Friday that the flights from the UK, which have been suspended since December 22, will resume on January 8 in a staggered manner.
India-UK flights: Which flights will resume January 8 onward?
The Centre has allowed airlines from both India and the UK to resume 15 flights each every week between January 8 and January 23. Airline officials said the carriers are preparing schedules and will be reaching out to customers once they are prepared.
Air India said the passengers who were booked to fly on December 23 will be the first ones to be flown out of the UK. While earlier flights from the UK were operating to various airports in India, only Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad will receive passengers for the time being. Those wanting to fly to other cities will need to book connecting flights out of these four hubs.
It is also noteworthy that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) will allow flights in a spaced out manner to avoid any crowding of UK passengers when testing protocol is being followed.
What do passengers arriving in India from the UK need to do?
In line with the guidelines for other international arrivals, all inbound passengers from the UK will have to submit self-declaration forms on an online portal (www.newdelhiairport.in) at least 72 hours before their scheduled travel. Passengers arriving from the UK also need to carry negative RT-PCR test reports, for which tests should have been conducted within 72 hours prior to undertaking the journey. Airlines have been asked to ensure that passengers are carrying the negative test report prior to allowing them to board the flight.
Upon arrival at Indian airports, all passengers coming in from UK in all international flights will be subject to mandatory self-paid RT-PCR tests. This means that any passenger taking a connecting flight via one of the international hubs such as Dubai, Doha, etc will also be subjected to mandatory testing. For the passengers who await their test results at the Indian airports, airports have been asked to make adequate arrangements to keep these passengers in isolation.

What happens if a passenger tests positive for Covid-19 upon arrival?
Passengers testing positive shall be isolated in an institutional facility in a separate (isolation) unit coordinated by the respective state health authorities. They will earmark specific facilities for such isolation and treatment, and take necessary action to send the positive samples to Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genomics Consortium (INSACOG) Labs. If the test report reveals the the Covid-19 variant is not the new one, then the ongoing treatment protocol, including home isolation or treatment at facility as per case severity, will be followed.
If the test report reveals the passenger has tested positive for the new variant, then the patient will continue to remain in the separate isolation unit. While necessary treatment as per the existing protocol will be given, the patient will be tested on the 14th day from when he/she first tested positive. The patient will be kept in the isolation facility till their sample tests negative.
What happens in case one has travelled next to a Covid-19 positive passenger?
For passengers who test positive upon arrival, all their contacts will be subject to institutional quarantine and will be tested as per the ICMR guidelines. For this purpose, the contacts will include the co-passengers seated in the same row, three rows in front and three rows behind, along with identified cabin crew.
The state-wise passenger manifest of the flights from the UK landing at Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai airports in India for the said period shall be conveyed by the Bureau of Immigration to State Government and/or the Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP).
Why is the government taking these steps?
The mutated strain of the coronavirus, which originated in the UK, has already spread across 23 countries including the US, China, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Canada, Japan, South Korea and Singapore. In India alone, at least 29 people who arrived from the UK between the time the suspension was announced and was implemented, were found infected with this new variant. This variant is estimated by European Center for Disease Control (ECDC) to be more transmissible and affecting younger population.

Q: Why is $e^x$ the only nontrivial function with a repeating derivative? Why is $e^x$ the only nontrivial function with a repeating derivative, i.e. is  its own derivative?
It says so in the Wikipedia article about $e$. Is there a proof of this that I (a calculus AB student) could understand? Thanks!

A: Technically $y=0$ is also a function with a repeating derivative but in answer to your question, what you're essentially doing is solving the differential equation $\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}=y$ to which the only non-trivial solution is $y=A e^x$. (The differential equation is not hard to solve)

A: $y = A e^x$ is a solution of the linear differential equation
$$ y' = \frac{dy}{dx} = y $$
with an initital condition $y(0)=A$. By the Picard-Lindelöf theorem there exists a unique solution to that equation with intial condition $y(0)=A$. For $A = 0$ you get the solution $y(x) = 0$ (the constant zero function) which trivially has a repeating derivative. For $A \ne 0$ you get the solution $y(x) = Ae^x = A \exp(x)$.

A: Let $y = f(x)$ be a function that satisfies the differential equation:
$$
\dfrac{dy}{dx} =y
$$
We will solve this ODE by separation of variables. Observe that this is equivalent to:
$$ \begin{align*}
\dfrac{1}{y}dy &= dx \\
\int \dfrac{1}{y}dy &= \int dx \\
\ln|y|&=x+C \\
|y|&=e^{x+C} \\
|y|&=e^Ce^{x} \\
y&=\pm e^Ce^{x} \\
y&=Ke^{x} \\
\end{align*} $$
where $K=\pm e^C$ is some constant. This proves that the only types of functions that are equal to their own derivative are functions that are scalar multiples of $y=e^x$.

A: Since taking the derivative is a linear operator, we have for any constant $c$:
$$ (cf(x))' = cf'(x) $$
Thus for any solution $f(x)$ to your question, we would also have $cf(x)$.

Therefore without loss of generality (and assuming the $f(0) \ne 0 $) we can choose
$$f(0) = 1$$
Now the function is determined by the fact that the derivative is known, and you can make a computer plot the function as tiny linear segments with that slope. What you get is the exponential function.

Josh Allen Focusing on Deep Ball
By G
Josh Allen has had to get creative with his offseason work.
The Buffalo Bills' quarterback is currently in California, one of the states hard hit by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has paralyzed the country and disrupted life as we know it.
Allen's creative workouts during quarantine
Allen is still working out with his personal quarterback coach, Jordan Palmer, but those workouts look far different as they adhere to social-distancing guidelines.
"We're throwing on a beach with selected receivers, only two to three of them who we know and quarantined as well and keeping our distance," Palmer said this week during an appearance on The MMQB NFL Podcast hosted by Albert Breer. "It's just weird times and we're trying to get some work in."
With the increasing likelihood that there will be no spring practices for NFL teams, Palmer has dialed back the amount of on-field work he's trying to get done.
"Usually we're throwing twice a week and building to four days a week as guys build to OTAs," he said. "I said, 'Let's go back down to two because if we're doing this indefinitely, I don't want anyone to start peaking and getting their arm in great shape. Let's just throw enough to work on specific things, but arm conditioning is not one of them. Arm care is.'
Josh Allen working on deep ball
Doing a lot of stuff before and after we throw, working on the foundational things that make up their throwing motion. Then they go with the trainers and are working on the rest of the body and movement. I'm always picking one thing to work on and once that becomes muscle memory, we move to the next thing as opposed to thinking about 15 things at once."
With Josh Allen, the deep ball has been the offseason theme he has been working on, Palmer said. This will be key after the Bills acquired Stefon Diggs in a recent trade.
"Just focusing on keeping his shoulder level. If you look at him at any point right now, his shoulder level is going to be far more parallel to the ground, then horizontal then leaning back where the front shoulder tips up," he said. "We've spent a lot of time and he's talked to some other folks, too. We've put a plan together. We're a month or two into it and I think it's going to be a big improvement this year."
Staying connected with others is key
The other thing Palmer has tried to get his clients to do is build better relationships with teammates. This is a group that also includes Jets quarterback Sam Darnold
"If you can really talk and communicate more with the defensive leaders more than you normally would this time of year, you can build deeper relationships," he said. "It's kind of all you can do to help your team because you can't really organize collectively as a group. You can't throw and get timing. The only chance you have to get better is communicate more and stay closer through this. That's what I've been pushing guys to do. Improve the things you can control.
"(Allen and Darnold) are making multiple calls a day connecting with guys. It doesn't cost you anything. You've got plenty of free time and you know everyone else has free time. I just told them if you're going to compete this time of year, you're limited on what you can do with yourself and limited on what you can do with teammates physically, you can communicate better than every other team in the league. This whole league is about creating advantages for your team."

Brittani Boren Leach Pays Tribute to Late Son, Crew, Who Passed Away Three Years Ago
January 3, 2023 January 3, 2023 / Celebrities, Entertainment, Lifestyle, Mental Health, News, Parenting, Women's Health / By Ryan Brennan
It was Christmas Day in 2019 when Brittani Boren Leach and her husband, Jeff Leach, laid their son, Crew – three months old at the time – down for a nap. Not long after, the parents realized their son was unresponsive and immediately rushed him to the hospital. Crew passed away two days after Christmas.
Three years later, Brittani and Jeff are still trying to learn how to live without their son. The couple took to Instagram over the holiday to pay tribute to and honor Crew on the day that he passed away. In doing so, they shared the moment they were forced to say goodbye to a son they only knew for three months.
Brittani Boren Leach/Instagram
"Three years ago tomorrow we said our final goodbye to our precious boy. How do you say goodbye to your child for the last time? I don't know," said Brittani Boren Leach in an Instagram Story – with the song 'Homesick' by MercyMe playing in the background. It was a heart-wrenching and harrowing scene.

On the day after Christmas, Brittani Boren Leach shared a few photos of her son in an Instagram post – one of which showed Crew with a big smile on his face, laying down next to a couple of Christmas presents. In the caption, Brittani shared some sweet, heartwarming, and touching words for her late son.
"When the sun sets and the chaos of the day disappears, that's when I miss you the most. I imagine you celebrating Jesus' birthday in the most beautiful way, looking down at us with your sweet little grin. And as the day comes to an end, I know we are just one more Christmas closer to you," she wrote in the caption.
A post shared by Brittani Boren • YOUTUBE MAMA (@brittaniborenleach)
This comes just a few months after Brittani Boren Leach took to Instagram to wish her son a Happy Birthday – he was born on September 14, 2019. She shared a digital photo of her family, including Crew with a halo. In the caption, she urged others to 'bring a little kindness to the world today in honor of him.'
"I wish I could see him now, at 3 years old, to know what he looks like, or what his birthday table would look like this year, and to know what it feels like to have him curl up in my lap and wrap his arms around my neck. I'm sure that Heaven is having the most beautiful celebration for him today, but I selfishly wish he was here instead," she wrote.
Brittani Boren Leach Recently Welcomed Her Sixth Baby
Brittani Boren Leach and Jeff Leach met each other on an online dating site and quickly sparked a romantic relationship with one another – both Brittani and Jeff were going through a separation at the time. By October 2015, the two decided to get married and later started to build a family together.
By the time they had Crew in September 2019, the couple was already parents to three sons – Carter, Cooper, and Cash. They welcomed baby boy No. 5, Cole, in November 2020, just 10 months after Crew passed away. In February 2022, they announced they were pregnant again with baby No. 6.
Their most recent son, which they named Cam, was born on September 9, 2022 – just five days before Crew's third birthday. He measured 7 lbs., 3 oz., and 20 inches. While the couple was left to think about what could've been with their late son, they were also left to wonder what might be with their new son.

Looking forward, Brittani Boren Leach is hoping to finally meet 'the little one who received Crew's heart' in 2023 – referencing the organ donation process the couple went through with their son following his death. The mother-of-six added she thinks she's ready, more than three years after unexpectedly losing her son.

A new compact spectral scheme for turbulence simulations
Chang Hoon Lee, Youngchwa Seo
Department of Computational Science and Engineering
We propose a new kind of compact difference scheme for the computation of the first and second derivatives in the simulation of high-Reynolds number turbulent flows. The scheme combines and truncates the pseudospectral representation of derivative for convergence acceleration. Comparison of the wave resolution property with available optimized compact schemes minimizing the prescribed wave resolution error reveals our scheme's superiority for the same size of stencils without introducing optimization parameters. An accompanying boundary scheme is also proposed with the stability analysis. The proposed scheme is tested for the evaluation of derivatives of a function that decays very slowly in the wavenumber space, and for the simulation of three-dimensional isotropic turbulence.

Larissa Hjorth, "Imaging Communities: Gendered mobile media in the Asia-Pacific," Japan Focus, March 2, 2009.
In the rise of participatory, networked and social media epitomised by Web 2.0 and user created content (UCC), mobile media has been central in ushering in new types of consumer agency, creativity and collaboration. Through its rapid uptake across the world, the mobile phone has become a compelling symbol for contemporary post-industrial modes of labour and intimacy. In particular, the icon of the mobile phone is most palpable in the Asia-Pacific where a diversity of innovative production and consumption practices can be found. One of the dominant symbols of the region's mobile media has been the conspicuous symbol of the female mobile media user. And yet, the phenomenon—and its gendered implications—has been relatively under-explored. By charting the rise of gendered mobile media practices, we can gain insight into how technology, gender, labour and intimacy are being conceptualised and how this, in turn, is reconfiguring the region within the twenty-first century.
In this paper I draw from a longitudinal cross-cultural case study of gendered mobile media conducted in Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong and Melbourne from 2000-2007. Deploying on interdisciplinary, ethnographic research conducted over a seven-year period, this paper examines the relationship between gender, technology, labour and intimacy through 'imaging communities'. Imaging communities can take multiple forms — form of texting, camera phone practices or mobile novels (keitai shôsetsu). These communities provide fresh ways for conceptualising the region's multiple cartographies of personalisation. Cartographies of personalisation are new socio-emotional and political economic maps for imaging and imagining the Asia-Pacific in an age of personalised media and Web 2.0.
...networked mobile media is best conceptualised as a series of ongoing, micro 'imaging communities' that span visual, textual and aural forms.

The Calog - polski zespół rockowy, założony w Rzeszowie przez braci Michała i Marcina Baryckich.

Historia
Zespół powstał w listopadzie 1993 roku. W początkowym składzie osobowym, oprócz wokalisty i basisty Michała Baryckiego, oraz gitarzysty Marcina Baryckiego, znajdował się także perkusista Krzysztof Kostoń. W 2000 roku zastąpił go Krzysztof Panas.

W 2002 roku grupa własnym nakładem wydała swój debiutancki album. Nie jest on zaliczany do oficjalnej dyskografii zespołu i był dostępny w ograniczonym zakresie. Znajdowała się na nim między innymi wczesna wersja najbardziej rozpoznawalnego utworu grupy - "Nie Ma Takich Miejsc". W roku 2004 światło dzienne ujrzał pierwszy oficjalny album grupy, wydany nakładem "Polskie Nagrania Muza", zatytułowany Dirty World. Był on promowany singlem o takim samym tytule, oraz utworem "Telefoniczna Miłość". W 2006 roku pod szyldem "Polskie Radio" wydany został drugi album grupy - "Parę Chwil", z którego pochodzą single "Zawsze", "Nie Ma Takich Miejsc" oraz "Głowy". Płyta (podobnie jak kolejna) została wyprodukowana przez jednego z czołowych polskich realizatorów i producentów, Tomasza Bonarowskiego. Utwór "Nie Ma Takich Miejsc" stał się najbardziej rozpoznawalną piosenką grupy. Zespół zagrał ją także w programie talk-show Kuba Wojewódzki. W 2008 roku, grupa wydała singiel pt. "Wyjedź Ze Mną" z gościnnym udziałem Natalii Grosiak. W maju 2009 roku, nakładem 4everMUSIC, wydany został trzeci album formacji - "Bomby Kolorowe". Zmieniła się na nim stylistyka grupy, płyta była utrzymana w stylu bardziej punk-rockowym.  W lipcu 2009, zespół wystąpił na Open'er Festival w Gdyni. W 2014 roku został wydany singiel "Wiatr".

Shareholder Activism in a Time of COVID-19 Uncertainty
Written by Byron Tse, William Osler, John Piasta, Kristopher Hanc and Annie Tonken
With the dual threat of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the oil price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia, financial markets in Canada and around the world have suffered heavy losses. As uncertainty looms, a variety of social and economic factors may result in activist shareholders looking to either regain the value of their investments or alter companies' business direction and strategy.
Investor activism continues to evolve and grow in light of the ever-changing global political and financial landscape, and it would be prudent for companies to anticipate and proactively prepare for potential activist action. With the volatility surrounding the current health and economic landscape, companies may become particularly vulnerable to shareholder activism. Companies should continually emphasize robust and active engagements with shareholders to understand the concerns of significant and institutional shareholders.
Canada's Activist-Friendly Environment
Canada's regulatory framework permits activist activity. Disclosure requirements under securities laws allow shareholders to accumulate 10 percent of a company's shares before disclosing their interest. In addition, activists may "quietly" solicit the support of up to 15 shareholders before filing and mailing proxy solicitation materials or publicly disclosing their solicitation intentions. The requirement for directors to be elected on an annual basis as required by the Toronto Stock Exchange also effectively prevents a board of directors from staggering elections to maintain greater continuity.
Activism is typically spurred by perceived underperformance of a company, but additional environmental and social factors now have an increased role. Traditional activism often challenges company management for poor market and financial performance, excessive executive and board compensation, a lack of communication and transparency regarding corporate strategy or transactional activity or a lack thereof. Additional factors such as climate change policies, employee pay practices, board diversity and corporate culture have garnered increased and profound impact given that such movements have been highly successful in garnering public attention and support and are now also being leveraged by activists to pressure management. Activist campaigns have also made use of social media platforms such as YouTube and Twitter to promote their causes and highlight grievances.
Activist campaigns may view the current record lows in the financial markets as an opportune time to influence a company's actions and/or mitigate current shareholder losses, both in the short and long term.
Another risk with a severely depressed share price is the potential for opportunistic hostile takeover bids. Takeover bids are generally viewed as expensive and resource-intensive given the premium required to entice a sufficient number of shareholders to divest their interest; however, a number of industries have suffered heavy losses in recent weeks—transportation and energy in particular—and companies may be vulnerable to such bids. With interest rates in Canada and the United States continually lowering, companies that have sufficient capital resources to weather the current downturn may be looking to acquire other companies at a discounted value.
Recent Canadian Shareholder Activism Campaigns
Canada has seen a steady number of highly publicized and contentious proxy contests in 2018 and 2019. We have highlighted a few of these contests below:
Detour Gold Corp.: In 2018, Paulson & Co. Inc. successfully launched an activist campaign arguing that the company was mismanaged and lacked proper board oversight. Paulson claimed that Detour Gold had been the worst performer relative to its peers since July 2016, and traded at a 47% discount to its reported net asset value. From July 2016 to September 2018, Detour Gold's share price had fallen from approximately $30 to $10.60. Paulson was successful in its campaign, electing a new slate of directors and appointing a new CEO.
Hudbay Minerals Inc.: Also starting in 2018, Waterton Global Resource Management Inc. engaged in an activist campaign against Hudbay Minerals Inc. to replace the board of directors. It accused management of "massive value destruction and chronic underperformance", citing a decline in Hudbay's share price of approximately 44 percent from January 2018 to October 2018. The proxy battle ended in a settlement agreement between Hudbay and Waterton in May 2019, where the parties agreed on a slate of 11 directors.
Crescent Point Energy Corp.: In May 2018, Crescent Point's management was faced with an activist campaign led by Cation Capital to replace four directors on Crescent Point's board. Cation claimed that over the course of 12 months, Crescent Point's shares had fallen approximately 47%, despite an 8% rise in the Canadian Energy Sector Index over the same period. While the company was successful in preventing Cation's proposed director slate from being elected, shareholders rejected a motion endorsing executive compensation.
Strategic Considerations
Below are examples of strategic preparations companies should consider to defend against activist shareholders:
Establish an activist defense team: Establish an internal team dedicated to dealing with activist shareholders and developing an immediate and comprehensive response to approaches by activists. This team will need to identify and respond to requests for shareholder lists, filings of early warning reports by major shareholders and other evidence of shareholder discontent. A company should also leverage its external financial, legal advisors to assist in defending its corporate strategy and objectives, and to coordinate coherent and timely responses to shareholders.
Open shareholder communication: Management should be constantly monitoring its shareholder base, their objectives and investment strategies. It is important for a company to be able to respond to shareholders in a meaningful manner, address concerns and misinformation and ensure an open and transparent dialogue with its key shareholder base. Management should continue to treat its public disclosure as an opportunity to engage with shareholders and communicate results, strategy, objectives and opportunities in a clear manner to enhance shareholder confidence.
High-quality corporate governance: Consult advisors to ensure corporate governance standards are frequently evaluated and strictly followed to prevent activists from exploiting weaknesses or inconsistencies.
Understand trends in shareholder activism: Ensure management is aware of: (i) trends in shareholder proposals in Canada and the United States by staying up to date on recent proxy contests, and (ii) voting recommendations by proxy advisory firms and consider how to best comply with "best practices" guidelines.
Use available legal defenses: Consider adopting: (i) provisions in corporate bylaws that require advance notice of any intention to propose nominees for directors (advance notice provisions will be vetted by proxy advisory firms such as ISS and Glass Lewis), and (ii) enhanced shareholder quorum provisions to increase quorum requirements for the percentage of outstanding shares required to be represented at a shareholder meeting.

Danish Study – People with Epilepsy Live Shorter Lives
Article published by Science Daily
On average, people with epilepsy live 10-12 years fewer than those who do not have the condition. Excess mortality is particularly pronounced among people with epilepsy and mental disorders. This is shown by research from Aarhus University.
50,000 Danes live with epilepsy, which is one of the most frequently occurring neurological diseases. New research now shows that people with epilepsy die significantly earlier than people without — on average they live 10-12 years less.
"The significantly reduced life expectancy is found both in people who develop epilepsy as a result of an underlying condition, such as brain cancer or stroke, and in those who develop epilepsy without an obvious underlying cause," explains Julie Werenberg Dreier, who is senior researcher at the National Centre for Register-based Research at Aarhus University and one of the researchers behind the study.
"We discovered that the reduced life expectancy for people with epilepsy was related to a wide range of causes of death which don't just include the neurological, but also cardiovascular diseases, psychiatric disorders, alcohol related conditions, accidents and suicide," says Jakob Christensen. He is clinical associate professor at Aarhus University and consultant at the Department of Neurology at Aarhus University Hospital, and is also one of the researchers behind the study.
It was possible to conduct the study by utilising the Danish healthcare registers to follow almost six million Danes, including more than 130,000 people with epilepsy.

Home GP victory for Tommy Searle!
Lewis PhillipsAugust 20, 20120
MX2, Matterley Basin, Great Britain, 20 August 2012
Kawasaki's Tommy Searle scored a resounding double victory in his home GP of the FIM World MX2 Motocross Championship at Matterley Basin near Winchester.
The Brit holeshot both motos on his Team Floride Monster Energy Kawasaki Pro Circuit in front of a large enthusiastic home crowd and remained cool throughout both 40 minute races to defy every challenge which series rival Jeffrey Herlings could throw at him. In the end Searle's frustrated rival fell on the final lap of each race as he desperately sought a way past the smooth-riding Englishman.
It was a weekend of mixed fortunes for the team as Searle's partner Joel Roelants suffered a dislocated hip during Saturday practice when another rider landed on him; the Belgian must now rest and will miss the remainder of the series.
The enthusiastic young French duo of Dylan Ferrandis and Valentin Teillet made it three Kawasaki's in the first eight after each of the Team Rockstar Bud Racing Kawasaki riders put in two solid rides. Ferrandis was seventh in both races to advance to eighth place in the series standings, while Teillet, who missed several GPs through injury earlier in the season, has now moved up to 14th after chasing his teammate home in both motos.
The festival of racing in England was a great success for Kawasaki in the MX2 class as Maxime Desprey of the NGS junior division emulated Searle to follow up his moto victory two weeks earlier in the Czech Republic with a double win in the European championship round in England. The maximum points score has moved the French teenager to third in the series.
Tommy Searle: "The pressure to win always makes it tough to do it at home, but I didn't want to let anyone down. Jeffrey closed up in both motos, but I knew I couldn't lose it for the fans ! It's a long shot for the title, but a win like today is a big consolation. I could hear his engine at times, and the fans told me that he was close, but I just rode my own race. I didn't know until halfway round the last lap of race two that he had fallen, but then the party could begin !"
Dylan Ferrandis: "The track was very good – we never had such a nice one this season so I enjoyed racing here. My first start was great and I was fourth for most of the race, but in the last few laps I was passed by three rivals and that was a little bit disappointing. I battled with Tonus and Tixier all through the second race to score another seventh position. It's my best GP since Sweden, and now I will go training with the team in the sand to prepare for Lierop."
Valentin Teillet: "On Saturday I had a good feeling with the track and was always in the top ten of the training sessions, but I crashed on the third lap of the qualification race so I didn't have a good gate pick for the GP. I got a good start in the first race and finished eighth, but I got pushed out at the first corner in race two and I had to fight hard for another eighth position. I didn't make any mistake today and that's positive, particularly as the track was rougher than on Saturday."
Maxime Desprey: "In Loket I made a mistake in the second heat, and I wanted so much to win both races here. I got two good starts and took the lead after a few corners. The track was really nice and I felt comfortable, especially on the big jumps and I focused on my lines to win both races. I've no chance for the title so I am just taking it race by race and will try to win as many races as possible to finish the season in the first three of the series."

Because I have become such a solitary, and not in the Aristotelian sense: not a beast, not a god. Rather, a loner troubled by longings, incapable of finding a suitable language and despairing at the impossibility of composing messages in a playable key--as if I no longer understood the codes used by the estimable people who wanted to hear from me and would have so much to reply if only the impediments were taken away.

Nobody ever wanted to go to war, but if a war came your way, it might as well be the right war, about the most important things in the world, and you might as well, if you were going to fight it, be called "Rushdie, " and stand where your father had placed you, in the tradition of the grand Aristotelian, Averroe«s, Abul Walid Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Rushd.

If all people learned to think in the non Aristotelian manner of quantum mechanics, the world would change so radically that most of what we call "stupidity" and even a great deal of what we consider "insanity" might disappear, and the "intractable" problems of war, poverty and injustice would suddenly seem a great deal closer to solution.

It is easy to understand that in the dreary middle ages the Aristotelian logic would be very acceptable to the controversial spirit of the schoolmen, which, in the absence of all real knowledge, spent its energy upon mere formulas and words, and that it would be eagerly adopted even in its mutilated Arabian form, and presently established as the centre of all knowledge.

There are times when fixing things quickly is the only option: when you have to channel MacGyver, reach for the duct tape, and cobble together whatever solution works right now.

Carl Honore Quotes
Catastrophe Theory is-quite likely-the first coherent attempt (since Aristotelian logic) to give a theory on analogy. When narrow-minded scientists object to Catastrophe Theory that it gives no more than analogies, or metaphors, they do not realise that they are stating the proper aim of Catastrophe Theory, which is to classify all possible types of analogous situations.

Lest we forget, the birth of modern physics and cosmology was achieved by Galileo, Kepler and Newton breaking free not from the close confining prison of faith (all three were believing Christians, of one sort or another) but from the enormous burden of the millennial authority of Aristotelian science. The scientific revolution of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was not a revival of Hellenistic science but its final defeat.

One can hardly appreciate how academia has perverted its highest tasks and "ideals" without pondering long and hard the implications of Jacques Barzun's House of Intellect and its Hegelian/Bergsonian contrast between rigidified "intellect" and always-growing "intelligence." This fundamentally Hegelian distinction, needless to say, cuts to the quick of the contrast between Platonic and Aristotelian forms of philosophy.

Kenny Smith Quotes
The relationship between science and the humanities is two-way. Science changes our view of the world and our place in it. In the other direction, the humanities provide the store of ideas and images and language available to us in understanding the world. The exploding star of A.D. 1054, the Crab Nebula, was sighted and documented by the Chinese, but nowhere mentioned in the West, where the Aristotelian notion of the immortality of stars still held sway. We often do not see what we do not expect to see.

P. F. Strawson Quotes
For the Platonic or Aristotelian philosophy, it is of no importance whether Plato or Aristotle ever lived. For the mystical practice of an Indian, Persian, Chinese, or Neo-Platonic mystic it is a matter of indifference whether Rama, Buddha, Laotse, or Porphyrius are myths or not. The mystic has no personal relation to them. It is not here a question of somebody telling me the truth which of myself I cannot find, but of my finding an access to the depths of the world in the depths of my soul.

In Spain in the meantime, Aristotelian scholar Juan Gines de Sepulveda was putting the impolitic moralizing of Las Casas into proper perspective for posterity: "Compare then the blessings enjoyed by Spaniards of prudence, genius, magnanimity, temperance, humanity, and religion with those of the little men [the Indians] in whom you will scarcely find even vestiges of humanity. . . . How can we doubt that these people - so uncivilized, so barbaric, contaminated with so many impieties and obscenities - have been justly conquered?"

In Aristotelian terms, the good leader must have ethos, pathos and logos. The ethos is his moral character, the source of his ability to persuade. The pathos is his ability to touch feelings to move people emotionally. The logos is his ability to give solid reasons for an action, to move people intellectually.

I should have written you a letter, it was too late to make the deaths of my brothers an excuse. Since they died, I wrote a book; why not a letter? A mysterious but truthful answer is that while I can gear myself up to do a novel, letters, real-life communications, are too much for me. I used to rattle them off easily enough; why is the challenge of writing to friends and acquaintances too much for me now? Because I have become such a solitary, and not in the Aristotelian sense: not a beast, not a god. Rather, a loner troubled by longings, incapable of finding a suitable language and despairing at the impossibility of composing messages in a playable key-as if I no longer understood the codes used by the estimable people who wanted to hear from me and would have so much to reply if only the impediments were taken away.

It is only rather recently that science has begun to make peace with its magical roots. Until a few decades ago, it was common for histories of science either to commence decorously with Copernicus's heliocentric theory or to laud the rationalism of Aristotelian antiquity and then to leap across the Middle Ages as an age of ignorance and superstition. One could, with care and diligence, find occasional things to praise in the works of Avicenna, William of Ockham, Albertus Magnus, and Roger Bacon, but these sparse gems had to be thoroughly dusted down and scraped clean of unsightly accretions before being inserted into the corners of a frame fashioned in a much later period.

Philip Ball Quotes
Actually, it meant a great deal: a very great deal. You don't have to believe that God exists to see that a story in which God takes on human form is a very different story from one in which God creates a messenger and tells that messenger to take on human form. The Passion of the Christ is a different movie depending on whether you think the person being eviscerated is God or just some guy. Athanasius thought that it was God who hung on a cross for the world; Arius thought that it was a created being who was not God. This is not very little; this is very big. Granted, the Creeds put it in terms of Aristotelian theories about "substance" and "essence": but there isn't much sense in complaining that technical documents are written in technical language if you are not prepared to pick up a standard work and look up what the words mean.

Andrew Rilstone Quotes
New skin, a new land! And a land of liberty, if that is possible! I chose the geology of a land that was new to me, and that was young, virgin, and without drama, that of America. I traveled in America, but instead of romantically and directly rubbing the snakeskin of my body against the asperities of its terrain, I preferred to peel protected within the armor of the gleaming black crustacean of a Cadillac which I gave Gala as a present. Nevertheless all the men who admire and the women who are in love with my old skin will easily be able to find its remnants in shredded pieces of various sizes scattered to the winds along the roads from New York via Pittsburgh to California. I have peeled with every wind; pieces of my skin have remained caught here and there along my way, scattered through that "promised land" which is America; certain pieces of this skin have remained hanging in the spiny vegetation of the Arizona desert, along the trails where I galloped on horseback, where I got rid of all my former Aristotelian "planetary notions." Other pieces of my skin have remained spread out like tablecloths without food on the summits of the rocky masses by which one reaches the Salt Lake, in which the hard passion of the Mormons saluted in me the European phantom of Apollinaire. Still other pieces have remained suspended along the "antediluvian" bridge of San Francisco, where I saw in passing the ten thousand most beautiful virgins in America, completely naked, standing in line on each side of me as I passed, like two rows of organ-pipes of angelic flesh with cowrie-shell sea vulvas.

Salvador Dale Quotes
IT is worth remembering that the rise of what we call literary fiction happened at a time when the revealed, authenticated account of the beginning was losing its authority. Now that changes in things as they are change beginnings to make them fit, beginnings have lost their mythical rigidity. There are, it is true, modern attempts to restore this rigidity. But on the whole there is a correlation between subtlety and variety in our fictions and remoteness and doubtfulness about ends and origins. There is a necessary relation between the fictions by which we order our world and the increasing complexity of what we take to be the 'real' history of that world. I propose in this talk to ask some questions about an early and very interesting example of this relation. There was a long-established opinion that the beginning was as described in Genesis, and that the end is to be as obscurely predicted in Revelation. But what if this came to seem doubtful? Supposing reason proved capable of a quite different account of the matter, an account contradicting that of faith? On the argument of these talks so far as they have gone, you would expect two developments: there should be generated fictions of concord between the old and the new explanations; and there should be consequential changes in fictive accounts of the world. And of course I should not be troubling you with all this if I did not think that such developments occurred. The changes to which I refer came with a new wave of Greek influence on Christian philosophy. The provision of accommodations between Greek and Hebrew thought is an old story, and a story of concord-fictions-necessary, as Berdyaev says, because to the Greeks the world was a cosmos, but to the Hebrews a history. But this is too enormous a tract in the history of ideas for me to wander in. I shall make do with my single illustration, and speak of what happened in the thirteenth century when Christian philosophers grappled with the view of the Aristotelians that nothing can come of nothing-ex nihilo nihil fit-so that the world must be thought to be eternal. In the Bible the world is made out of nothing. For the Aristotelians, however, it is eternal, without beginning or end. To examine the Aristotelian arguments impartially one would need to behave as if the Bible might be wrong. And this was done. The thirteenth-century rediscovery of Aristotle led to the invention of double-truth. It takes a good deal of sophistication to do what certain philosophers then did, namely, to pursue with vigour rational enquiries the validity of which one is obliged to deny. And the eternity of the world was, of course, more than a question in a scholarly game. It called into question all that might seem ragged and implausible in the usual accounts of the temporal structure of the world, the relation of time to eternity (certainly untidy and discordant compared with the Neo-Platonic version) and of heaven to hell.

Frank Kermode Quotes
For Aristotle the literary plot was analogous to the plot of the world in that both were eductions from the potency of matter. Sartre denies this for the world, and specifically denies, in the passage just referred to, that without potentiality there is no change. He reverts to the Megaric view of the matter, which Aristotle took such trouble to correct. But this is not our affair. The fact is that even if you believe in a Megaric world there is no such thing as a Megaric novel; not even Paterson. Change without potentiality in a novel is impossible, quite simply; though it is the hopeless aim of the cut-out writers, and the card-shuffle writers. A novel which really implemented this policy would properly be a chaos. No novel can avoid being in some sense what Aristotle calls 'a completed action.' This being so, all novels imitate a world of potentiality, even if this implies a philosophy disclaimed by their authors. They have a fixation on the eidetic imagery of beginning, middle, and end, potency and cause. Novels, then, have beginnings, ends, and potentiality, even if the world has not. In the same way it can be said that whereas there may be, in the world, no such thing as character, since a man is what he does and chooses freely what he does-and in so far as he claims that his acts are determined by psychological or other predisposition he is a fraud, le¢che, or salaud-in the novel there can be no just representation of this, for if the man were entirely free he might simply walk out of the story, and if he had no character we should not recognize him. This is true in spite of the claims of the doctrinaire nouveau roman school to have abolished character. And Sartre himself has a powerful commitment to it, though he could not accept the Aristotelian position that it is through character that plot is actualized. In short, novels have characters, even if the world has not. What about time? It is, effectively, a human creation, according to Sartre, and he likes novels because they concern themselves only with human time, a faring forward irreversibly into a virgin future from ecstasy to ecstasy, in his word, from kairos to kairos in mine. The future is a fluid medium in which I try to actualize my potency, though the end is unattainable; the present is simply the pour-soi., 'human consciousness in its flight out of the past into the future.' The past is bundled into the en-soi, and has no relevance. 'What I was is not the foundation of what I am, any more than what I am is the foundation of what I shall be.' Now this is not novel-time. The faring forward is all right, and fits the old desire to know what happens next; but the denial of all causal relation between disparate kairoi, which is after all basic to Sartre's treatment of time, makes form impossible, and it would never occur to us that a book written to such a recipe, a set of discontinuous epiphanies, should be called a novel. Perhaps we could not even read it thus: the making of a novel is partly the achievement of readers as well as writers, and readers would constantly attempt to supply the very connections that the writer's programme suppresses. In all these ways, then, the novel falsifies the philosophy.

Nat Hentoff on Academic Diversity
Nat Hentoff is the rarest of birds - a liberal who is pro-life and anti-PC. He is, in fact, a liberal in the traditional sense of the word. I usually don't agree with Hentoff, but I find his articles - both as a civil libertarian and a jazz critic - always thought-provoking.
Hentoff has this offering in today's Washington Times, and, as usual, he remains true to his goal of promoting freedom of all kinds:
The present domination by liberal opinion on many college faculties (often verging on this majority's intolerant orthodoxies) was revealed in a recent study, "Politics and Professional Advancement among Faculty," by Stanley Rothman, emeritus professor of government at Smith College; S. Robert Lichter, a professor of communications at George Mason University; and Neil Nevitte, a political science professor at the University of Toronto.
As summarized in the June 24-26 New York Sun, the result of this study, confirmed in previous reports in the widely respected, nonpartisan weekly, the Chronicle of Higher Education, reveals that campus liberal professors "outnumber conservatives 5-to-1. It also concludes that conservatives get worse jobs than liberals."
In some of these classrooms, conservative students are intimidated into silence, ignored or occasionally ridiculed. Accordingly, although belatedly, the June 23 "Statement of Academic Rights and Responsibilities," led by the American Council on Education, may finally awaken college trustees and alumni to the degree of indoctrination instead of free inquiry that characterizes much of higher education, particularly in the more elite institutions.
Hentoff's solution?
I would think the clear answer is that college and university presidents and boards of trustees have to look deeply into how welcome their own campuses are to "intellectual pluralism and the free exchange of ideas." The statement by the higher-education establishments is just words without accountability. Also, by doing more investigative reporting on freedom of thought on campuses, the media can also be of significant help to future students, faculty and the nation as a whole. We are engaged not only in a war against terrorism, but also in a war of ideas between those committed to freedom and advocates of its lethal opposite.
The prevalence of "political correctness" at many colleges and universities is far from over, but at least a beginning has been made to make freedom of thought part of the curriculum.
Quite frankly, I have no problem with college faculties being overwhelmingly liberal per se. The problem arises when professors subordinate their goal of the free and open exchanges of ideas to their political ideology. That's what's happening in colleges across the country, and it's damaging the product that the colleges are offering to their students. A college diploma should not just be a credential to get a higher-paying job - it should prepare it's owner to compete in the marketplace of ideas as well. Indoctrination is not the same as education, but the former is increasingly the result as young people pursue higher education.
With the cost of a four-year degree now well over six figures, parents and students alike have a right to get value for their money. But as long as undergraduate education remains the low man on the totem pole for publish-or-perish college professors, and as long as the public buys the myth that having a college education is the only way to get ahead, you won't see any change. But at least Hentoff is willing to discuss the problem of liberal othodoxy on college campuses. Most people keep trying to sweep it under the rug.

Q: Hello, I need to create a python query that select a maximum and minimum value in every row of the selected columns For instance in the first row,(Afghanistan) the query should compare the rates of PCCW,ALLIPTELECOM_PREMIUM, ALLIPTELECOM STANDARD, BICS_BC and BICS_FC and the record both the min and the max rate,,and then state the provider with the maximum rate and the provider with the minimum rate.enter image description here

A: Convert the datasheet to csv or export it and then you can use pandas dataframe that will find the maximum rates/ minimum rates
then you can use the following code:
df[minimum_rate] = Afganistan.min()
df[maximum_rate] = Afganistan.max()

There are plenty of library to connect to mysql. eg.
SQLalchemy,mysql.connector.etc.
Here's one tutorial from w3school:

A vendor has been charged with trying to sneak alcohol to a prisoner at the city court lock-ups.
Martin McLennan, 52, of Lot 6 Second Street, Meadow Bank, appeared yesterday before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan and pleaded not guilty to the charge that he brought two Tropical Mist water bottles filled with alcohol for Howard Rambharose on May 24 at the court lock-ups.
one of the police officers, the rank sniffed the liquid and realized that suspected alcohol was sealed in the bottles. The prosecutor said Martin was later arrested and the bottles with the suspected alcohol were sent to an analyst to be tested.
Attorney Tiffany Jeffrey, who represented the accused, informed the court that her client had a previous run in with the law for domestic violence.
Chief Magistrate McLennan subsequently granted the accused his release on $50,000 bail and adjourned the matter until June 12, when it will be heard by Magistrate Judy Latchman.
