Bill Gates Predicts Another Pandemic Which Could be Man-Made and Worse than COVID-19
Bill Gates issued a warning during his visit to Australia about the impending threat of another pandemic, one that could be much more devastating than Covid and could be man-made, Daily Mail reported.
On Monday, Microsoft founder Bill Gates discussed global health, pandemic preparedness, food security, and 'climate change' in an in-depth interview with Lowy Institute Executive Director Dr. Michael Fullilove.
Gates urged that world leaders must put aside their differences and work together to prepare for the next epidemic.
While Gates claims that no country did the right thing in its response to the Covid pandemic, he praised Australia and seven other countries that did "population scale diagnostics early on and had quarantine policies."
"So nobody, I would say, gets an A on this one. Sadly, epidemics come along so rarely that it's easy to be incompetent."
"You know, earthquakes, fires, they come more often, storms. And so governments, you know, they're pretty good on fires. You know, there hasn't been a 5000-death fire in the world for a long, long time. Epidemics, hopefully, this will get us to take them seriously, at least for the next 20 or 30 years," he said.
"With the pandemic, we were foolish not to have the tools, the practice, and global capacity to be on standby like we do with fire or earthquakes."
"So we need to be doing, every five years, a really comprehensive exercise at both country and regional level of pandemic preparedness," said Gates. "And you need a global group that's kind of scoring everybody. And saying, hey, if you're not participating in this, you could be the source of the next pandemic. And that's bad for the entire world. This is like a fire that goes global."
During the discussion, Bill Gates praised human innovation.
"The amount of IQ in the world that's being educated, the quality of the tools we have to drive forward, or innovation, whether it's in health or energy or education, those are fantastic things."
Gates cautioned that this might be exploited by those who wish to destroy the world, suggesting that with great minds comes a downside.
"Some of the tools of biology could actually be used by a bioterrorist," Gates said.
"Risk comes from two sources. One is nature, which generally are diseases of animals, zoonosis that comes across and infects humans, in this case, a bat virus. It's one of the four big families of viruses that we know its receptors can change, that they attach to the human lung and become human respiratory disease. And that's the main thing to worry about is respiratory disease, because you get very fast human-to-human spread."
Gates emphasized that countries should have standby tools, both antivirals and vaccines, that can fight infections.
"So there's a class that's got measles in it, a class of flu, a class of coronavirus, and a fourth class, all of which we need to have standby tools, both antivirals and vaccines that can deal with those. It's very doable. So on the tool's front, we can be far more prepared," Gates said.
Gates also called for surveillance to track and monitor people.
"So the big scary thing is how quickly things can go global. And that's why you need both sewage and air surveillance in all airports. So that you can quickly see is there something out of the ordinary that's spreading? And the tools for that will be available."
It can be recalled the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation donated $1.27 billion to "advance progress toward the global goals" during United Nations General Assembly week last month, with $200 million going toward the development of an invasive global digital ID system.
"We see the greatest progress when governments, the private sector, and local communities collaborate in global health programs," said Bill Gates, co-chair. "The commitment this week to combat preventable diseases and save millions more lives through the Global Fund replenishment is a great step forward in getting back on track to reach the Sustainable Development Goals."
Even Tony Blair, a former prime minister of the United Kingdom, has advocated for the development of "national digital infrastructure" to facilitate the distribution of new vaccines and to determine who is vaccinated or who is not for future pandemics during the WEF summit at Davos, Switzerland.
During the conversation, Gates expressed concern that the politically weak Biden regime could have global repercussions.
"The US is politically weaker today, I would say than it's been, and that's scary for the world. The current world system is designed around US leadership. And as other countries have gotten richer, these middle-income countries, including China and India, need to play a stronger role in world governance. And how the US seeds the kind of unique role we've had and makes that all work, particularly given our political polarization. There's a lot to worry about there."

In today's working world, employers have become much more flexible to people's needs. And while some companies are leading the way in adopting a more human-centric approach to the way we work, there's still a long way to go. First, we must learn what's important to them.
Here, we share some insights from the Tarkett workplace survey of 2,500 European employees on the main concerns workers have, to help create workspaces that support wellbeing and enhance productivity across the Continent.
Strikingly, it was invisible factors that were found to matter more than aesthetics. Almost half (49%) of those surveyed placed noise and indoor air quality as their top two workplace worries – coming out ahead of wider environmental concerns, layout and location.
Almost half (49%) of those surveyed placed noise and indoor air quality as their top two workplace worries – coming out ahead of wider environmental concerns, layout and location.
This may come as a surprise to some as traditionally great importance has been paid to the physical design attributes of the working environment. However, it brings to light a need for businesses to re-evaluate what's most important to the daily wellbeing of their staff.
Too loud to hear yourself think?
According to the Tarkett workplace survey of 2,500 European employees, the hustle and bustle of the office was the single biggest issue across the Continent - especially in France where a third of employees felt that it is has a negative impact on their working life.
Interestingly though, 43% of the French office workers surveyed had a private office, with only a quarter working in an open plan space, with a similar pattern across the Netherlands, Sweden and Germany too. While office noise can come from a number of sources such as the air conditioning or the printer – so called 'white noise' - the most distracting is the human voice because of its intelligibility. People find it difficult not to listen to conversations when we can understand the words; we're simply wired to tune in to our colleague's talking. Not the least because of what's called the 'Lombard effect'; the phenomenon of people speaking louder as it gets noisier around them.

However, this does not seem to be as much of a challenge for the Brits. Less than a quarter put noise as their biggest concern despite nearly 60% of the British respondents working in an open plan office environment - and less than a fifth having a private room. In fact, they were more worried about air quality - although noise was a close second.
Perhaps the British are more tolerant of office clatter, or maybe they just like to chat during office hours. When asked what their preferred working environment was, it was near enough a draw between open plan (34%) and a private office (32%) suggesting that talkative or not, many would like to their own space.
These national results indicate that although noise is a pan-European issue, there is a big discrepancy between countries and in particular between office workers in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden and those in the UK. This is particularly true with regards to office layout and the mix between open plan and private office space. The Workplace survey suggests that all the nationalities would prefer a private space away from the office melee, with nearly half of the Germans preferring a quiet spot.
The Workplace survey suggests that all the nationalities would prefer a private space away from the office melee.
Indoor air quality is another big worry for European employees, with those working in the UK feeling particularly anxious - and for good reason. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) calls indoor air quality one of the top five environmental health risks of our time.
The issue has been high on the agenda across Europe for years, with the EU currently reviewing draft legislation to ensure construction companies and end-users take indoor air quality into consideration during renovation work.
It's worth noting that it's the younger generation - Gen Zs (18-24 year olds) - who are particularly worried about the air they breathe, suggesting that this is an issue that will continue to grow in importance as the next generation of talent rises through the ranks.
Gen Zs (18-24 year olds) are particularly worried about the air they breathe so this is an issue that may continue to grow in importance as they rise through the ranks.
It is also the key concern for employees working in government organisations. In fact, just as with noise, the size of the organisation was a key factor for air quality too with office workers in larger corporates seeing it as a major issue, while those working for SMEs were less worried.
A busier office environment could create a less desirable air quality if not considered properly at the design stage to allow employees easy access to well ventilated spaces and easy access to fresh air.
The challenge is how to address these two invisible concerns to build better workplaces that respond to the needs of today's modern workforce.
There are numerous solutions for absorbing office noise including ceiling panels and acoustic boards. Although effective, many interior designers are reluctant to include these as they often detract from the look and feel they are trying to achieve.
More subtle options may include using commerical office textile products such as sound absorbing carpet tiles with a specialist backing and designer acoustic wall art panels. Both could be designed to blend in or enhance the overall scheme.
Working alongside these noise absorbing solutions, there are some emerging 'soundscaping' concepts which help make speech unintelligible to tackle the distraction of the human voice. These include introducing authentic natural sounds, such as bird song and trickling water into the office environment to make speech harder to decipher – with the added bonus of connecting people with nature.
Designing people-friendly spaces starts with knowing what matters to them – and understanding some of the science behind it - to help create workplaces that are truly designed for the modern world.

Botanix Plant Supply are again proud to have been plant suppliers at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show 2018.
Our plants were showcased in a number of show gardens including the award winning 'Australian Case Study Garden'.
Designed by the team at Eckersley Garden Architecture the garden took out the Best in Show, a Gold Medal and the prestigious Horticultural Media Association award for Best use of Plant Life.
The design team included former Botanix apprentice and employee Rupert Baynes-Williams who described the planting palette as "…neither native nor exotic, but a mongrel".
Among this 'mongrel'planting we supplied, Hymenosporum flavum 'Butterfly Scentz' which was a favorite with the crowds and described by the designers as an interesting native alternative to Gardenia.
As always, we were very pleased to assist a number of emerging designers in the Avenue of Achievable Gardens including the winning garden by Seam Lam; 'State of Wonder'. Our Brachychiton rupestris looked wonderful amongst her dream-like perennial planting.

Q: Filtering a Data Frame based on Row Conditions I thought of the following example to illustrate my question.
Suppose there are 5 balls:

*

*Red

*Blue

*Green

*Yellow

*Orange

Normally, there are 5! = 120 ways these balls can be organized (n!). I can enumerate all these combinations below:
library(combinat)
library(dplyr)

my_list = c("Red", "Blue", "Green", "Yellow", "Orange")

d = permn(my_list)

all_combinations  = as.data.frame(matrix(unlist(d), ncol = 120)) %>%
  setNames(paste0("col", 1:120))

all_combinations[,1:5]

    col1   col2   col3   col4   col5
1    Red    Red    Red    Red Orange
2   Blue   Blue   Blue Orange    Red
3  Green  Green Orange   Blue   Blue
4 Yellow Orange  Green  Green  Green
5 Orange Yellow Yellow Yellow Yellow

My Question:
Suppose I wanted to filter this list by the following conditions:

*

*The "Red" Ball can either be in the first or second position (From Left to Right)

*There must be at least 2 positions between the "Blue" Ball and the "Green" Ball

*The "Yellow" Ball can not be in the last position

I then tried to filter the above data based on these 3 conditons:
# attempt to write first condition
    cond_1 <- all_combinations[which(all_combinations[1,]== "Red" || all_combinations[2,] == "Red"), ]

#not sure how to write the second condition

 # attempt to write the third condition
    cond_3 <- data_frame_version[which(data_frame_version[5,] !== "Yellow" ), ]

# if everything worked, an "anti join" style statement could be written to remove "cond_1, cond_2, cond_3" from the original data?

But this is not working at all - the first and third condition return a data frame only containing 4 rows for all the columns.
Can someone please show me how to correctly filter "all_combinations" using the above 3 filters?
Note:
The following code can transpose the original data:
 library(data.table)

    tpose = transpose(all_combinations)

    df = tpose

#group every 5 rows by the same id to identify unique combinations

    bloc_len <- 5

    df$bloc <-
        rep(seq(1, 1 + nrow(df) %/% bloc_len), each = bloc_len, length.out = nrow(df))

 head(df)

      V1     V2     V3     V4     V5 bloc
1    Red   Blue  Green Yellow Orange    1
2    Red   Blue  Green Orange Yellow    1
3    Red   Blue Orange  Green Yellow    1
4    Red Orange   Blue  Green Yellow    1
5 Orange    Red   Blue  Green Yellow    1
6 Orange    Red   Blue Yellow  Green    2

A: You can do:
library(tidyverse)
tpose %>%
  mutate(blue_delete = case_when(V1 == "Blue" & V2 == "Green" ~ TRUE,
                                 V1 == "Blue" & V3 == "Green" ~ TRUE,
                                 V2 == "Blue" & V3 == "Green" ~ TRUE,
                                 V3 == "Blue" & V4 == "Green" ~ TRUE,
                                 V4 == "Blue" & V5 == "Green" ~ TRUE,
                                 TRUE ~ FALSE)) %>%
  filter(V3 != "Red" & V4 != "Red" & V5 != "Red",
         V5 != "Yellow",
         blue_delete == FALSE) %>%
  select(-blue_delete)

A: If you are not so concerned about the data.frame structure, my preferred approach would be to retain each outcome as the member of a list (i.e. your d variable) and sapply() that with a function which checks that all of the conditions are satisfied for that outcome.
Observe:
library(combinat)

my_list <- c("Red", "Blue", "Green", "Yellow", "Orange")
my_list_perm <- combinat::permn(my_list)

# This function examines one particular outcome of the trial, e.g. outcome = ["Blue", "Orange", "Red", "Green", "Yellow"]
test_conditions <- function(outcome) {

  # Condition 1
  condition_1 <- "Red" %in% outcome[c(1,2)]

  # Condition 2
  condition_2 <- base::abs(base::which(outcome == "Blue") - base::which(outcome == "Green")) >= 2

  # Condition 3
  condition_3 <- base::which(outcome == "Yellow") != base::length(outcome)

  all <- condition_1 && condition_2 && condition_3

  return(all)
}

my_list_matches <- base::which(base::sapply(my_list_perm, test_conditions)) # applies the function to each list element (which itself is an outcome)

print(my_list_matches) # displays which trials / outcomes satisfied all conditions

#>  [1]   6   7   8   9  10  12  19  22  29  31  32  33  34  35  41  48  49  50 111 112 113 120

Created on 2022-01-04 by the reprex package (v1.0.0)
You can then use the matching indices to filter on the original list.

A: Here's a scalable tidyverse solution.
First, let's make the data a tibble of 120 rows, one for each combination of balls.
library(tidyverse)
library(combinat)
data = my_list %>%
  permn() %>%
  map(~ set_names(.x, paste0("ball", 1:5))) %>%
  do.call(bind_rows, args = .) %>%
  mutate(id = row_number())

Our data:
# A tibble: 120 x 6
   ball1  ball2  ball3  ball4  ball5     id
   <chr>  <chr>  <chr>  <chr>  <chr>  <int>
 1 Red    Blue   Green  Yellow Orange     1
 2 Red    Blue   Green  Orange Yellow     2
 3 Red    Blue   Orange Green  Yellow     3
 4 Red    Orange Blue   Green  Yellow     4
 5 Orange Red    Blue   Green  Yellow     5
 6 Orange Red    Blue   Yellow Green      6
 7 Red    Orange Blue   Yellow Green      7
 8 Red    Blue   Orange Yellow Green      8
 9 Red    Blue   Yellow Orange Green      9
10 Red    Blue   Yellow Green  Orange    10
# ... with 110 more rows

The key idea of this solution is to transform the data into long format. This will make it trivial to check for each condition. Afterwards we can bring it back to wide format.
data %>%
  pivot_longer(-id) %>%
  mutate(ball_number = as.numeric(str_extract(name, "[1-5]"))) %>%
  group_by(id) %>%
  filter(
    # Condition 1
    ball_number[value == "Red"] %in% c(1, 2),
    # Condition 2
    abs(ball_number[value == "Blue"] - ball_number[value == "Green"]) >= 3,
    # Condition 3
    ball_number[value == "Yellow"] != 5
  ) %>%
  select(-ball_number) %>%
  pivot_wider(values_from = "value", names_from = "name")

The output shows that there are 10 permutations:
# A tibble: 10 x 6
# Groups:   id [10]
      id ball1 ball2 ball3  ball4  ball5
   <int> <chr> <chr> <chr>  <chr>  <chr>
 1     8 Red   Blue  Orange Yellow Green
 2     9 Red   Blue  Yellow Orange Green
 3    32 Red   Green Yellow Orange Blue
 4    33 Red   Green Orange Yellow Blue
 5    48 Green Red   Orange Yellow Blue
 6    49 Green Red   Yellow Orange Blue
 7    50 Green Red   Yellow Blue   Orange
 8   111 Blue  Red   Yellow Green  Orange
 9   112 Blue  Red   Yellow Orange Green
10   113 Blue  Red   Orange Yellow Green

An improvement this solution offers is that all the conditions you want to check for are very straightforward because of our variable ball_number. You could easily scale this solution to more complex conditions if there were more balls, such as the first 5 balls being red, or the blue ball plus green ball being equal to 7.

A: Here's what you can do. I know it's not the prettiest and most optimized solution you'll find out there. But it works!
all_combinations  = as.data.frame(matrix(unlist(d), ncol = 5)) %>%
  setNames(paste0("col", 1:5))

cond_1 <- all_combinations %>%
  filter(col1 == "Red" | col2 == "Red")

cond_2 <- cond_1 %>%
    filter(col1 == "Blue" | col1 == "Green" |
             col2 == "Blue" | col2 == "Green" |
             col3 == "Blue" | col3 == "Green" |
             col4 == "Blue" | col4 == "Green" |
             col5 == "Blue" | col5 == "Green")

cond_2 <- cond_2 %>%
  mutate(cond = ifelse(col1 == 'Blue' & col4 == 'Green', 2, NA) |
           ifelse(col1 == 'Blue' & col5 == 'Green', 3, NA) |
           ifelse(col2 == 'Blue' & col5 == 'Green', 2, NA) |
           ifelse(col1 == 'Green' & col4 == 'Blue', 2, NA) |
           ifelse(col2 == 'Green' & col5 == 'Blue', 3, NA)) %>%
  filter(cond == T)

cond_3 <- cond_2%>%
  filter(col5 != "Yellow")

Output:
  col1 col2   col3  col4 col5 cond
1 Blue  Red Orange Green  Red TRUE

A: Maybe I misread the question but as I see it, none of the answers seem to show a solution where there are 2 columns between the colors in step 2 of the question.
I took the liberty of testing the data and found that only if you use "Yellow" and "Orange" you can find a filter condition doing what you want (as far as I understand it).
This is not a general answer and it is not actually correct because "Yellow" is on the last row, violating the rule but:
To have distance of 2 between your colors while the last row is already accounted for reduces the problem to a 4 column problem. So a distance of 2 can only be achieved between column 1 and column 4.
This leads to 4 assumptions:

*

*Column 1 would need to be either "Green" or "Blue"

*Column 2 would need to be "Red"

*Column 3 should be neither "Green" nor "Blue"

*Column 4 should be again either "Green" or "Blue" but not Column 1
This is the code I came up with, not beautiful and as explained "Green" and "Blue" switched to "Yellow" and "Orange" but else I think this works.
library(combinat)
library(tidyverse)

my_list = c("Red", "Blue", "Green", "Yellow", "Orange")

d = permn(my_list)

all_combinations  = as.data.frame(matrix(unlist(d), ncol = 5)) %>%
  setNames(paste0("col", 1:5))

`%!in%` <- Negate(`%in%`)

combis <- all_combinations %>%
  filter(col1 %in% c("Yellow", "Orange"),
         col2 == "Red",
         !col3 %in% c("Yellow", "Orange"),
         col5 == "Yellow")

results <- vector()
for(i in seq_along(combis[,1])){

  if(combis[i,][1] %!in% c(combis[i,][4], "Red", "Green", "Blue")){
    results <- combis[i,]
  }
}

results

    col1 col2  col3   col4   col5
3 Yellow  Red Green Orange Yellow

A: I think you may find it easier to apply the three conditions if you consider the position of each ball rather than the ball in each position, as in
library(combinat)
my_list = c("Red", "Blue", "Green", "Yellow", "Orange")
d = permn(1:5)
md = matrix(unlist(d), ncol=5, byrow=TRUE)
colnames(md) = my_list

ok = md[, "Red"] <= 2 &
     abs(md[, "Blue"] - md[, "Green"]) > 2 &
     md[, "Yellow"] != 5
sum(ok)
# 10
md[ok, ]
#      Red Blue Green Yellow Orange
# [1,]   1    2     5      3      4
# [2,]   1    5     2      3      4

Hear Sia's Liberating New Song 'Bird Set Free'
Plus, the singer-songwriter reveals album cover and release date for 'This Is Acting'
Brittany Spanos Nov 05, 2015
Sia has followed up the electrifying single "Alive" with the anthemic new track, "Bird Set Free." Both will appear on her upcoming LP This Is Acting, out January 29th.
"I don't care if I sing off-key/I've got myself and my melodies/I sing with love and I sing for me/I shout it out like a bird set free," the elusive singer-songwriter relays during the chorus. Throughout the song, she repeats the line "I don't wanna die" with growing energy and strength in the cathartically powerful new song.
Sia confirmed This Is Acting on her just-launched Instagram account earlier this week. She elaborately laid out the cover art, title and release date via 30 posts that connect to create one large image.
Every song on This Is Acting consists of tracks Sia penned for other artists, with the singer confirming to Ryan Seacrest in September that "Bird Set Free" was written with and for Adele. Sia's previous single "Alive" was co-written by Adele and Tobias Jesso Jr. for Adele's 25, though the British singer rejected it at the last minute. "I actually enjoy the dynamic of us both being in there and just fucking being bossy," bird s. "And it's all these male producers, and they're all fucking shitting themselves 'cause we're in there."

Other songs on the album were written for artists like Beyoncé and Rihanna. "It's much more pop," Sia told NME about the album in February. "I'm calling it This Is Acting because they are songs I was writing for other people, so I didn't go in thinking, 'This is something I would say.' It's more like play-acting. It's fun."

Day 38 – (8/23/15) Well 12 to near Well 6, 79 miles.
We said our goodbyes to Colin, Jeanette, Peter, and Sandra this morning. Hopefully we will see them again someday.
We didn't come across any other people today. This makes 2 days without seeing anyone other than our party.
We have entered into "station" land (ranch land) with signs of civilization. We began seeing cattle, windmills, and some fences.
It appears that the dunes have come to an end.
Ryan saw a couple of Australian monitor lizards called Goanna and followed them into the bush to capture them on video. They are very unique looking.
Saw our first kangaroos since before Alice Springs.
We were both really tired pulling into camp since we did about 80 miles. We didn't eat much for dinner which was good because we are running out of food. We crawled into bed around 8pm. Today was a tough day.


The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) has published research detailing solutions for tackling drug-impaired driving.
With more states legalizing both recreational and medical marijuana, professional truck drivers are more likely to be sharing the roadway with car drivers operating under the influence of marijuana. As a result, ATRI's Research Advisory Committee (RAC) identified marijuana-impaired driving as a top safety priority in 2018.
In particular, the report highlights the importance of training law enforcement to identify and collect evidence of marijuana-impaired driving, particularly through the development of more drug recognition experts.

Buy tickets now for guided tours of Paris, Versailles and beyond.
Why not even book a romantic minibreak in Paris and leave the kids at home!

Did my DVD Player just die?
Hello. I have an Apex dvd player that I've had for lke 3 months at most. I watched a dvd, went outside, came in 1/2 hour later, and now it wont read any discs, tried multiple dvds, audio, etc, NO DISC. Is it dead?
Sorry, I can't give you a definitive answer, but it sure sounds dead. Did you try cleaning the lens?
It's not dead... it's just resting. Now you've stunned it; Apex dvd players stun easily. Either that, or it is pining for the fjords. Beautiful plumage.
Thanks for the reply...I waited awhile, shook it and its doing ok now, I think the Anchor Bay dvd I was using was giving it most of the trouble....thats scary.
Perhaps it's all shagged out after a long squak.
Funny that this silly response of mine turned out to be pretty accurate!

Q: Prove that this set is a convex cone
Let $$S := \left\{ x \in \mathbb{R}^n : x^T Q x \leq (a^Tx)^2,  a^T x \geq0 \right\}$$ where $Q \in \mathbb{S}_{++}^n$ and $a \in \mathbb{R}^n$. Show that $S$ is a convex cone.

I am aware that for a set to be a convex cone, the following should hold:-

*

*$x,y \in S$ $\implies$ $x+y \in S$

*$x\in S$ and $\theta \geq 0$ $\implies$ $\theta x \in S$
I attempted to use $x,y \in S$ to get $x+y \in S$ but so far I have been unsuccessful. The squared term on the R.H.S is throwing me off. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
EDIT: I have attempted the following working. Kindly verify if this is correct
$(x+y)^TQ(x+y)=x^TQx+x^TQy+y^TQx+y^TQy \  $ $ \leq \ (a^Tx)^2+(a^Ty)^2+2x^TQy$
$\leq \ (a^Tx)^2+(a^Ty)^2+2a^Tx^TQy$
$\leq (a^T(x+y))^2$
I'm not sure about the second last step. Thanks in advance
EDIT 2:
I believe that the following proof should suffice. Kindly let me know if any errors are found and of any alternate proof that may exist. Thank you.
First I will show that S is convex.
A set S is convex if for $\alpha , \beta \in [0,1]$ , $\alpha + \beta =1$ and $x,y\in S$, we have $\alpha x + \beta y \in S$
If $x \in S$ then $x^TQx \leq (a^Tx)^2$ and $a^Tx \geq 0$
Similarly, if  $y \in S$ then $y^TQy \leq (a^Ty)^2$ and $a^Ty \geq 0$
Then, $\alpha x + \beta y \in S \implies (\alpha x + \beta y)^T Q (\alpha x + \beta y) \leq (a^T(\alpha x + \beta y))^2$
Lets focus on the LHS of this inequality.
$(\alpha x + \beta y)^T Q (\alpha x + \beta y) = \alpha^2 x^TQx + \beta y^TQy + 2\alpha \beta x^TQy$
Let's attempt to separate $x$ and $y$ from $x^TQy$
$x^TQy = x^T Q^{1/2} Q^{1/2} y = (Q^{1/2}x)^T(Q^{1/2}y) \ \ $ (since $Q \in S_{++}^n$)
$(Q^{1/2}x)^T(Q^{1/2}y) \leq ||Q^{1/2}x|| \cdot ||Q^{1/2}y|| \ \ $ (Cauchy Schwartz Inequality)
$||Q^{1/2}x|| \cdot ||Q^{1/2}y|| = \sqrt{\langle Q^{1/2}x, Q^{1/2}x \rangle} \sqrt{\langle Q^{1/2}y, Q^{1/2}y \rangle} = \sqrt{x^TQx} \cdot \sqrt{y^TQy}$
By the Arithmetic-Geometric Mean Inequality, we know that $\sqrt{ab} \leq \frac{(a+b)}{2}$ and $\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a} \sqrt{b}$ for non-negative reals.
Hence,
$\sqrt{x^TQx} \cdot \sqrt{y^TQy} \leq \frac{1}{2} (x^TQx + y^TQy)$
$\implies \alpha^2 x^TQx + \beta y^TQy + 2 \alpha \beta x^TQy \leq \alpha^2 x^TQx + \beta y^TQy + \alpha \beta (x^TQx + y^TQy)$
Let $\beta = 1 - \alpha$
$\implies \alpha^2 x^TQx + (1-\alpha)^2y^TQy + \alpha (1- \alpha) (x^TQx + y^TQy) $
$= \alpha x^T Q x + (1-\alpha)y^TQy$
$\implies (\alpha x + \beta y)^T Q (\alpha x + \beta y) \leq \alpha x^T Q x + (1- \alpha) y^TQy$
$\leq \alpha (a^Tx)^2 + (1 - \alpha)(a^Ty)^2$
$\leq \alpha (a^Tx)^2 + (1 - \alpha)(a^Ty)^2 + 2 \alpha \beta (a^Tx)(a^Ty)$
$= (a^T(\alpha x + \beta y))^2$
$\implies (\alpha x + \beta y)^T Q (\alpha x + \beta y) \leq (a^T(\alpha x + \beta y))^2 $
Which is what we required. Hence, S is convex.
For S to be a cone, let $\theta \geq 0$ and $x \in S$. Then, $S$ is a cone if $\theta x \in S$
$x \in S \implies x^TQx \leq (a^Tx)^2$
We know that $\theta^2 \geq 0$ so we can multiply on both sides without changing the inequality sign
$\theta ^2 x^TQx \leq \theta^2(a^Tx)^2$
$\theta x^T Q \theta x \leq (a^T \theta x)^2$
$\implies \theta x \in S$
Hence, $S$ is a cone.
Therefore, $S$ is a convex cone.

Birding Bayano, a report by Bill Adsett
- miércoles, febrero 27, 2002
On February 27 Mark Letzer and I did some birding beyond the Bayano bridge and on the lake. Amongst the birds seen were One-colored Becard (pair), White-eared Conebill, Black Antshrike and Red-billed Scythebill. The most birdy places were at and around the bridge 3-4 kms beyond the Bayano bridge, and in dried out stream beds which can be entered from the lake (Mateo, who hangs out on the boat ramp next to the Bayano bridge can take you around the lake). On the lake, Anhingas were everywhere. A Rufous-breasted Hermit was nesting in the most precarious circumstances, in a nest suspended from a split heliconia leaf over a trail which was being violently blown around by the wind. There were two white eggs. Contrary to the nesting habits mentioned in the book, this nest appeared to be on its own and not guarded by a male; nor was the nest over a stream. We also saw a group of Variable Seedeaters among which was one individual with a large white spot on the cheek. We are not going to claim i
Hepatic Tanager at the Metropolitan Nature Park
- domingo, febrero 24, 2002
John Rowlett sent in the following report: On February 24, 2002, I and eight participants in a Field Guides tour group birding Metro Park in Panama City saw a male Hepatic Tanager near the entrance to the park. This bird, with which I am very familiar throughout its range in Latin America, was a representative of the testacea, or highland, group, showing a dark bill and dusky lores. The color was typical of Hepatic plumage, as well—a blood-red with no orange wash or element. Also, in keeping with testacea, our bird did not show any dark auricular patch. It seemed quite sedentary, sitting in one position for perhaps ten minutes. We were able to study it in the Leica scope I was carrying for exceptional viewing by every member of the group. I have seen Hepatic Tanagers many times in Panama, of course: in Chiriqui, in Darien, and on Cerro Jefe and Cerro Azul, the nearest foothill locations where this bird regularly occurs. However, this is the first time I have ever seen it in the
Birding Chiriquí Grande, Bocas del Toro
- jueves, febrero 14, 2002
Guido Berguido spent ten days in the Fortuna/Chiriquí Grande area working on a Smithsonian course. The best sightings he reported were a Chestnut-colored Woodpecker and an adult Bicolored Hawk, both seen on the road to the Chiriquí Grande dump.

Apple Planning to Shift iPhone Production From China to India After Coronavirus
Big League Economics
Anything but bringing industry back to America.
Technology megacorporation Apple is preparing a plan to move the manufacturing of iPhones from China to India in the wake of the global coronavirus pandemic
Indian Prime Minister Narenda Modi had met with company executives earlier in the year to begin the process. Apple is looking to move up to $40 billion of manufacturing subsidiaries from China to the country within the next five years.
Somewhat curiously, Apple secured a generous exemption from America First tariff policies in March. The company doesn't appear to be considering moving more manufacturing back to the United States after reconsidering its China-based business model, doubtlessly preferring to build its supply chain in other countries while making a lion's share of its profits from American consumers.
America First patriots and economic nationalists should be encouraged by the increased skepticism of China's outsourcing and protectionism-based economic model in the light of coronavirus. But they should be equally concerned by the increasing tendency of major American corporations to consider India as the location to which they'll relocate major industry and manufacturing.
India, which is set to surpass China as the world's most populous country within the decade, could conceivably prove essential to a continuation of the neoliberal era in which global corporate elites decimated the manufacturing and middle-class economy of the United States by outsourcing industry to countries where cheap labor was readily available, all with the help of corporate-generous 'free trade' globalist economic policies.
In time, the country, which has a low-wage labor force that surpasses even that of China, could prove to be the foil for globalist elites to swiftly rebrand their China-based global economic model. Amazon oligarch Jeff Bezos predicted that the 21st century would be an 'Indian century' in January.
The nation's government is already intensely lobbying for increased free trade privileges with the United States, and aggressively funds influence campaigns to boost annual levels of H-1B visas, in addition to rigging the wage-depressing visa's rules in order for Indian applicants to monopolize it.
Curt Schilling Reveals that AIG Canceled His Insurance Over His Social Media
The woke purges are only beginning.
On January 12, 2021, former all-star pitcher and now-conservative commentator Curt Schilling announced that AIG canceled his insurance policy over his "social media profile."
"We will be just fine, but wanted to let Americans know that @AIGinsurance canceled our insurance due to my 'Social Media profile'," Schilling said in a Tweet.

"The agent told us it was a decision made by and with their PR department in conjunction with management," he continued.
Social media censorship has become normalized over the last four years. Now, however, this kind of corporate policing is being extended to people's ability to do banking. Paul Joseph Watson of Summit News observed the following:
While innumerable Trump supporters have lost their Twitter and Facebook accounts due to social media censorship and cancel culture, cases of individuals being cut off by banks and other financial services are now growing too.
The logic of corporate America's woke crusade is to change people's behavior by censoring social media activity. In addition, corporate entities will cut off people from basic services to make their lives miserable simply for dissenting against the regime's official narrative.
Republicans will have to stop worshiping corporations and rethink some of their economic policies. Corporations have too much power in America and are clearly not on the side of the Right. The refusal to recognize this new reality will lead to continued defeats for the Right. It's time to adapt.
Free Speech Platform Gab Receives 3 Million New Users in 12 Days


Phill Wilson was born in Beverley near Hull in 1980 and began making music on the Hull music scene in the late 90's as a singer/songwriter guitarist. He then gigged extensively in the first part of the new millennium using live-looping devices and many guitar effects to create a full band sound. The name MyOneManBand was born and he went on to self-release two albums (Don't Believe The Weather – 2003 and Delay/Hold – 2006). During this time MyOneManBand became a regular fixture at The New Adelphi Club on De Grey Street in Hull, often playing the Monday night Open Mic sessions.
In 2010 he began to tire of playing the same songs week in, week out, so MyOneManBand first abandoned his previously constructed songs in favour of creating improvised soundscapes, and then dropped the guitar and foot pedals altogether, in favour of an ever changing roster of samplers, grooveboxes and synthesizers that formed the blueprint of improvised "soundtrack music" that he is still performing today.
During this time Phill was also the original bassist for Hull art rock band La Bete Blooms as well as formative member of noise-pop outfit The Glass Delusion where he played "Synths and Noise Makers".
Through the friendship that formed between Wilson and The Glass Delusion's de facto leader Lewis Young, MyOneManBand put out an unusual double album on Young's Adult Teeth Recording Company label (Adapter / Mono Textura – 2014). This pack consisted of two CDs that could be listened to individually (Adapter is typical of the beat driven electronica that Wilson was making at this time, whereas Mono-Textura is a purely ambient offering actually released under Wilson's Blackface pseudonym ) but the idea is that both can be listened to via two CD or Media Players, simultaneously for a third and always unique experience that comes from the listeners own positions between their two sets of speakers and the slight variations on when the listener presses play on the two CDs.
After releasing this album MyOneManBand shifted focus away from much of the "gigging" scene to focus on smaller and more unusual outlets for his work. He has delivered two Tedx Talks – "The Illusion Of The Shy Musician" in Hull, and "Repetition As A Form Of Progression" in Carlisle. Wilson has also collaborated with other artforms such as working with Choreographers in Hull's "Danza" and "Shorespace" projects to community projects such as "Unseen Beings".
Currently MyOneManBand holds the acclaim of being the act who has the highest number of appearances at The New Adelphi Club in Hull where he can be found almost every Monday creating unique pieces of music which he now records as part of an ongoing archive of his work much of which he puts out through www.youtube.com/myonemanband and www.soundcloud.com/myonemanband . He has also launched a sub-project "Thoughts and Lists" in which he invites members of the audience to become part of the show by joining him on stage to read poetry, prose or even a simple top ten on a given subject as he creates a real time soundtrack to accompany the speaker.
