# Vito Volterra

Vito Volterra (3 May 1860 – 11 October 1940) was an Italian mathematician and mathematical physicist, known for his contributions to integral equations and mathematical biology. At the International Congress of Mathematicians, he was a plenary speaker in 1900 in Paris, in 1908 in Rome, in 1920 in Strasbourg, and in 1928 in Bologna, as well as an invited speaker in 1904 in Heidelberg and in 1912 in Cambridge, UK (although family reasons prevented him from attending the Cambridge conference).

## Quotes

* Si vous demandez à tout mathématicien si dans son esprit il fait une distinction les théories de l'élasticité et celles de l'électrodynamique, il vous dira qu'il n'en fait pas, car les types de équations différentielles qu'il rencontre, et les méthodes qu'il doit employer pour résoudre les problèmes qui se présentent, sont tout à les mêmes dans le deux cas. (If you ask any mathematician if in his mind he makes a distinction between the theories of elasticity and those of electrodynamics, he will tell you that he does not, because the types of differential equations he encounters, and the methods which he must employ to solve the problems which arise, are all the same in the two cases.)
** Lectures delivered at the foundation of the twentieth anniversary of the foundation of Clark University, under the auspices of the department of physics, September 7–11, 1909. 1912. p. 2.
* I did not hesitate at the Congress of Mathematicians at Paris to call the nineteenth century the century of the theory of functions, as the eighteenth century might have been called that of infinitesimal calculus.
** as translated from the original French by Griffith Conrad Evans: Henri Poincaré. 1. May 1915. 133–162. (quote from p. 140)

## Quotes about Volterra

* On my way home in May 1932, when I stopped in Rome to see Vito Volterra and explained my 92 Andre Weil formula to him, he jumped up out of his chair and ran to the back of the apartment, crying to his wife: "Virginia! Virginia! Il signor Weil ha dimostrato un gran bel teorema!" ("Mr. Weil has proved a very beautiful theorem!")
** André Weil, The Apprenticeship of a Mathematician (1992), p. 92
* He and Benedetto Croce actively attacked the regime from their seats in the Senate. After 1930 Volterra was dismissed from the University and stripped of his membership in all Italian scientific societies. The same thing later happened to Levi-Civita. To the honor of the Santa Sede, he and Volterra (both of whom were Jews) were soon thereafter appointed by Pope Pius XI to his Pontifical Academy.

## Quotes

* Nel mondo reale il pericolo principale non è rappresentato dalle forze della natura, ma [...] dalla violenza dell'attuale globalizzazione neoliberista. Anzi la natura stessa è vittima di questo processo se è vero, come ricorda il biologo Edward O. Wilson, che le specie stanno scomparendo con una velocità di tre all'ora.
** In the real world, the principal danger is not represented by the forces of nature, but [...] by the violence of the current neoliberal globalisation.

# Vito Acconci

Vito Hannibal Acconci (born January 24, 1940 – April 27, 2017) was an American designer, landscape architect, performance and installation artist.

## Quotes

* SHELLEY JACKSON: You began as a writer, moved to performance art, then architecture. I’d like to follow the traces of writing through your career, and see whether your late work could be rethought as a radically materialist practice of writing. What made you want to write?
    VITO ACCONCI: I wanted to be involved with the making of some kind of parallel world. I thought, there’s no reason to go to different parts of our world, because you can write them. You can stay home, stay in a little room, and imagine all these worlds. And I wanted to do that. Why did I want to do that, I’m not sure if I can tell.
** Shelley Jackson talks with Vito Acconci, in: The Believer, Nr. 12. 2006.
* When I thought of myself as a writer in the 1960s, I questioned what made me go from the left to the right margin, from one page to another. As I thought of the space I was also thinking about time. Then I thought: ‘Why am I limiting myself to a piece of paper when there’s a world out there?’ I focused on performance in the early 1970s because the common language of the time was ‘finding oneself.’ In a time like that, what else could I do but turn in on myself and then go from me to you? Photography, film, and video were sidesteps–spaces in front of you–whereas I was more interested in the space where you were in the middle. Now I’m involved with peopled spaces–that’s design and architecture.
** Vito Acconci interview, in The Art Newspaper, Art Basel edition, December 5, 2012.

## Quotes about Vito Acconci

* Vito Acconci’s extraordinary career—poetry, art, architecture: a sort of triathlon of the arts—began in the Bronx, where as an aspiring author of seven years he wrote stories about cowboys and athletes. At his Catholic college, he published sexy stuff about priests and nuns that got the school magazine banned for three issues running. He went on to write fiction in the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. But when he came back to New York in the early ’60s, something changed, and he began writing poems. Highly conceptual constructions, they did not tell stories, express feelings, or evoke a fictional world. They were not representational. Maybe you could call them presentational: this is a word, this is a sentence, you are reading.

## Quotes

* the Church-Family of God is Catholic, ie universal; therefore it knows no regional or provincial borders. We are all members of the same and only Church, and no Catholic is a foreigner in another Diocese. Imagine for a moment, if the first Missionaries and Bishops of Burkina Faso had never come from outside, in this case from France, there would be no Catholic Church now in Burkina Faso. Thus, at the recent Synod for Africa, the Synod Fathers asked that the faithful and priests welcome, in a spirit of faith, the Bishop that the Holy Father sends them as their Pastor of the Diocese.

# Vitaly Ginzburg

Vitaly Lazarevich Ginzburg (October 4, 1916 – November 8, 2009) was a Russian theoretical physicist and astrophysicist and a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He was the successor to Igor Tamm as head of the Department of Theoretical Physics of the Academy's physics institute (FIAN), and an outspoken atheist. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2003 along with Alexei Alexeyevich Abrikosov and Anthony James Leggett.

## Quotes

* Every physicist (naturally, this equally applies to other specialities, but I restrict myself to physicists for definitiveness) should simultaneously know, apart from theoretical physics, a wealth of facts from different branches of physics and be familiar with the newest notable accomplishments.
** in his Nobel lecture, December 8, 2003, at Aula Magna, Stockholm University.
* In the past century, and even nowadays, one could encounter the opinion that in physics nearly everything had been done. There allegedly are only dim 'cloudlets' in the sky or theory, which will soon be eliminated to give rise to the 'theory of everything'. I consider these views as some kind of blindness. The entire history of physics, as well as the state of present-day physics and, in particular, astrophysics, testifies to the opposite. In my view we are facing a boundless sea of unresolved problems.
** in his Nobel lecture, December 8, 2003, at Aula Magna, Stockholm University.
* I am not a supporter of Marxism, but I fully agree with this formulation. Another thing is that opium can sometimes be useful, and its use justified. For example, I envy believers. Indeed, I am 86 years old, I understand that death is close. And it can turn out to be painful, and no less painful are thoughts about the fate of loved ones. How good it would be to believe in the existence of, say, an afterlife, etc. But the mind is given to man in order to control his emotions and not engage in self-deception, belief in miracles.
** On Karl Marx's phrase “Religion is the opium of the people”.

# 2013 Patna bombings

On 27 October 2013, a series of bomb blasts rocked the Indian city of Patna, Bihar at a massive election rally for BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. Of the estimated 300,000 participants at the "Hunkar" rally, six people were killed and 85 others were injured in eight bomb blasts.

## Quotes

* On 27 October 2013, Narendra Modi, who was BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate at that time, was scheduled to address a rally in Patna. Hardly five minutes had passed since he had started his speech when eight blasts jolted the city. One of the low-intensity bombs exploded at the venue of the rally itself. Six people died and over hundred were injured in the synchronised explosions. Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh said after the blasts, ‘What a coincidence blast at the Patna Railway on the day of Modi’s Rally! The challenge to Nitish Govt to find the culprit!’ Manmohan Singh was prompt in condemning the incident and asked Nitish Kumar to ensure a speedy inquiry. The IM was again found to be at its root. Only Digvijay Singh can tell what he meant by these statements. But his remarks have time and again played politics over the sensitive issue of terrorism. He has been the most vocal among all politicians to rake up the issue of saffron terrorism. He was even seen disseminating ‘secret’ information to journalists on many occasions. The 2014 election verdict proved that his remarks had no effect on the masses and had inadvertently helped the anti-India forces sitting across the border.

# 2013 Hyderabad blasts

On 21 February 2013, at around 19:00 IST, two blasts occurred in the city of Hyderabad, India. The bombs exploded in Dilsukhnagar, a crowded shopping area, within 100 metres (330 ft) of each other.[4][5] The first explosion occurred outside a roadside eatery named A1 Mirchi, next to the Anand Tiffin Centre and opposite the Konark movie hall, followed by the second one two minutes later near the Route 107 bus stand close to the Venkatadri theatre.

## Quotes

* The city of Hyderabad was not as lucky the following year. On 21 February 2013, two powerful explosions shook the city. Ammonium Nitrate was used to make the bombs that took seven lives. The modus operandi of these bombings had an IM signature yet again. It proved that a series of arrests might have weakened its network, but it was certainly not out of the game. Sushil Kumar Shinde, the then Home Minister, confirmed that intelligence agencies had some prior information about the attack. However, there was no input about the place of the attack. The blast reignited the debate on security preparedness. The Manmohan Singh government found it hard to explain how an attack had occured despite intelligence inputs. The theory of saffron terrorism and the support of Afzal Guru by some politicians encouraged Pakistan to deny its hand in the terrorist activities before the UN and other international forums it used both as a ruse to deny its role in sponsoring terrorism in India. India’s soft stance to carry forward the dialogue process was further emboldening the Pakistani state.

# 2013 Shapla Square protests

The Shapla Square protests, also known as Operation Shapla or Operation Flash Out by security forces refers to the protests, and subsequent shootings, of 5 and 6 May 2013 at Shapla Square located in the Motijheel district, the main financial area of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The protests were organized by the Islamist advocacy group, Hefazat-e Islam, who were demanding the enactment of a blasphemy law. The government responded to the protests by cracking down on the protesters using a combined force drawn from the police, Rapid Action Battalion and paramilitary Border Guard Bangladesh to drive the protesters out of Shapla Square.
Following the events at Motijheel, protests in other parts of the country also broke out, during which 27 people died, although different sources report casualty numbers ranging from 20 to 61. The opposition party BNP initially claimed thousands of Hefazat activists were killed during the operation, but this was disputed by the government. Human Rights Watch and other human rights organizations put the total death toll at above 50. Initial attempts to dispute the chain of events were thwarted due to the government closure of two television channels, Diganta Television and Islamic TV, which were live telecasting the operation.

## Quotes

* One thing about this (COVID-19) that's somewhat unprecedented is the speed at which new data is coming out and becoming available for mass consumption. In that article, there's not a lot of detail about when the initial patient returning to China became symptomatic. It's really hard to tell. People don't always accurately report. That's not on purpose or anything, but people aren't so self-aware that they're going to notice a single sneeze, or every little cough, or clearing their throat, or their nose is running and they think it's allergies. There are a lot of reasons why people might not necessarily recognize that they are symptomatic when they actually are.

## Quotes

* Polygamy is one thing, and the punishment is another. Islam never punishes just the woman, but always both the woman and the man.
* Moses has four wives, and so did Abraham … To this day, Judaism permits polygamy. The Hindus permit polygamy. The Buddhists permit polygamy. There is not a single religion on the face of the earth that bans polygamy, but all religions agree that women are not allowed to have more than one husband. Christianity is the only religion that does not permit more than one wife. The rest - six billion people on Earth – permit polygamy.
* in Islam, Allah permits us – just like in all religions – to marry several wives, and have things done out in the open. For whose benefit is all this? For the benefit of the woman, because a woman who is taken as a mistress remains in the shadows, and loses all her rights. The man does not owe her anything. But since [Allah] permits marrying another wife, she gains respect, status, and rights. Therefore, becoming a second wife reinforces the status of a woman, because she does not become a mistress or a girlfriend who remains in the darkness, and the man does not do things of which he is ashamed.
