Cathay Dragon, known as Dragonair before, was an airline based in Hong Kong International Airport.
It had a fleet of 46 airplanes, including Airbus A320s, A321s and A330s.
It flew to 44 destinations in China and Asia.
It was named the "World’s Best Regional Airline" by Skytrax World Airline Awards four times.
On 21 October 2020, Cathay Pacific announced to stop the operation of Cathay Dragon due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hong Kong International Airport (IATA airport code: HKG; ICAO airport code: VHHH), also known as Chek Lap Kok Airport is the airport of Hong Kong that was built at Chek Lap Kok on Lantau Island.
It opened in 1998.
It is one of the leading airports in the world, and has won "World Airport of the Year" from Skytrax for 7 times in 10 years.
It is the hub for Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong Airlines, Hong Kong Express and Air Hong Kong.
It is the third busiest airport in terms of international passenger traffic in the world, and the busiest in the world in terms of cargo traffic.
Until the 2020s when Hong Kong missed feeling like it was in the 18th Century.
The airport has an advanced highway and railway system linking it to the city centre of Hong Kong.
The building project was one of the largest in the world, and featured in Discovery Channel's "Ten Greatest Modern Projects of the World".
It was designed by the famous architect, Norman Foster.
The aim of the airport was to increase traffic and capacity which the old Kai Tak Airport could not handle.
It remains one of the best airport in the world, along with Singapore's Changi Airport and Seoul's Incheon International Airport.
The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS or PSNS) is part of the autonomic nervous system.
It does the opposite things of the sympathetic nervous system, the other part of the autonomic nervous system.
This way, the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems balance each other's effects.
The sympathetic nervous system helps a person "fight or flight" when they are in danger.
When the danger is gone, the parasympathetic nervous system lets the person "rest and digest," "feed and breed."
The parasympathetic nervous system has many different effects.
It affects every part of the body, including:
The heart: The heart relaxes and beats slower.
This makes the heart rate and blood pressure lower.
The lungs: Breathing slows down.
The bronchi (the tubes that bring air to the lungs) also get narrower.
The eyes: The pupils get smaller.
The digestive system: Extra blood is sent to the stomach and intestines.
The stomach and intestines also work faster.
This helps the person digest the food in their stomach.
The blood vessels: The blood vessels in the parts of the body that are far away from the heart, lungs, and brain get wider.
(This is called vasodilation.)
This helps make the blood pressure lower.
It also makes the skin warmer, and can cause a man to have an erection.
Because of these effects, the parasympathetic nervous system always has to balance with the sympathetic nervous system.
For example, if only the parasympathetic nervous system was working, a person's heart rate and breathing would keep getting lower and lower.
Eventually the person would stop breathing or their heart would stop beating.
However, in a healthy person, the brain realizes when the parasympathetic nervous system's effects are getting too strong.
For example, the brain may realize that the person is breathing too slowly, or that their heart rate is too low.
The brain reacts by making the sympathetic nervous system kick in.
Because the sympathetic nervous system has the opposite effects, it will make the person breathe faster and raise their heart rate.
These two systems have to balance each other constantly for a person to stay healthy.
The parasympathetic nervous system is controlled mostly by the vagus nerve.
This is an important nerve that comes from the brain and goes all the way down to the bottom of the spinal cord.
The vagus nerve sends out chemical messengers called neurotransmitters - mostly one called acetylcholine.
This chemical causes changes in many different parts of the body.
Heart rate (HR) is how many times a heart beats per minute (bpm).
The average bpm for a man or women who does not exercise is 70 bpm.
Heart rate varies between people because of fitness, age and genetics.
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, also polypeptide) is a kind of hormone that has 28 amino acid residues in it and is made in many areas of the human body including the gut, pancreas, and suprachiasmatic nuclei (which is a small part of the brain's midline) of the hypothalamus in the brain.
In humans, the vasoactive intestinal peptide is encoded, or transforming information from one format into another, by the VIP gene.
Increase intestinal secretion, relaxes sphincters and smooth muscles.
Released from nerve cells in mucosa and smooth muscle.
Pan European Game Information (PEGI) is a European self-regulatory organization that assigns age and content ratings to consumer video games.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in psychiatry, and treats people with mental illness.
In the United States, psychiatrists train by  going to university first, then they go to Medical School for 4 years.
Then they must complete a residency.
When they graduate, they get to use the initials M.D. or D.O. after their names.
Then these doctors specialize by training for 3 or 4 years in Psychiatry.
In other countries psychiatrists train in similar ways but may not have to go to a separate university and medical school.

Monifieth () is a town and former police burgh in the council area of Angus, Scotland.
Eugen Jochum (; 1 November 1902 – 26 March 1987) was a German conductor.
Jochum was born in Babenhausen, near Augsburg, in the south of Germany.
He soon showed musical talent and was playing the organ for church services when he was eight.
He studied at the Augsburg Conservatory and then the Munich National Theatre and at Mönchen-Gladbach.
He became conductor of the Kiel Opera where, during three years, he conducted more than 50 operas in several German cities.
Then, in 1934, he followed Karl Böhm and Karl Muck as the conductor of the Hamburg Staatsoper.
He stayed there until 1949.
He also was guest conductor in Amsterdam with the Concertgebouw Orchestra and later he became chief conductor.
After World War II, Jochum became the first chief conductor of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in 1949.
He often conducted in London with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Symphony Orchestra.
In 1975, the LSO gave him the title of conductor laureate.
He appeared regularly at Salzburg and, from 1953, Bayreuth.
The first opera he conducted there was Wagner's Tristan und Isolde.
Jochum is remembered especially for his warm, romantic performances of Anton Bruckner's symphonies.
He often conducted the passions of Bach and music by composers such as Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart, Haydn, Schumann, Wagner and Carl Orff.

In mathematics and computer science, Big O notation is a way of comparing rates of growth of different functions.
It is often used to compare the efficiency of different algorithms, which is done by calculating how much memory is needed, and how much time it takes to complete.
The Big O notation is often used in identifying how complex a problem is, also known as the problem's complexity class.
The mathematician Paul Bachmann (1837-1920) was the first to use this notation, in the second edition of his book "Analytische Zahlentheorie", in 1896.
Edmund Landau (1877-1938) made the notation popular.
For this reason, when people talk about a Landau symbols, they refer to this notation.
Big O notation is named after the term "order of the function", which refers to the growth of functions.
Big O notation is used to find the upper bound (the highest possible amount) of the function's growth rate, meaning it works out the longest time it will take to turn the input into the output.
This means an algorithm can be grouped by how long it can take in a worst-case scenario, where the longest route will be taken every time.
More specifically, given two positive functions  and , we say that  is in the big O of  (written ) if for large enough ,  for some constant .
Big O is an expression that finds worst-case scenario run-time, showing how efficient an algorithm is without having to run the program on a computer.
This is also useful due to the fact that different computers may have different hardware, and therefore need different amounts of time to complete it.
Since Big O always assumes the worst-case, it can show a consistent measurement of speed: regardless of the hardware,  is always going to complete faster than , because they have different levels of efficiency.
The following examples all use code written in Python.
Note that this is not a complete list of Big O types.
always takes the same amount of time regardless of input.
For example, take a function that accepts an integer (called x) and returns double its value:
def double(x):
return x * 2   #Return the value of x times 2
After accepting the input, this function will always take one step to return an output.
It is constant because it will always take the same amount of time, so it is .
increases according to the size of the input, represented by .
For example, for the following function that accepts n and returns every number from 1 to n:
def count(n):
i = 1           #Create a counter called "i" with a value of 1
while i <= n:   #While i is less-than or equal to n
print(i)    #Print the value of i
i = i + 1   #Redefine i as "the value of i + 1"
If we were to input the value of 5, then this would output , requiring 5 loops to complete.
Similarly, if we input 100, then it would output , requiring 100 loops to complete.
If the input is , then the algorithm's run time is exactly  loops every time, therefore it is .
increases in factorial amounts, meaning the time taken increases massively with the input.
For example, say we wish to visit five cities around the world and want to see every possible ordering (permutation).
An algorithm we could write using Python's itertools library is as follows:
import itertools    #Import the itertools library
cities = ['London', 'Paris', 'Berlin', 'Amsterdam', 'Rome'] #An array of our chosen cities
def permutations(cities):                    #Taking an array of cities as input:
for i in itertools.permutations(cities): #For each permutation of our items (assigned to variable "i")
print(i)                             #Output i
This algorithm will calculate each unique permutation of our cities and then output it.
Examples of output will include:
('London', 'Paris', 'Berlin', 'Amsterdam', 'Rome')
('London', 'Paris', 'Berlin', 'Rome', 'Amsterdam')
('London', 'Paris', 'Amsterdam', 'Berlin', 'Rome')
('Rome', 'Amsterdam', 'Paris', 'Berlin', 'London')
('Rome', 'Amsterdam', 'Berlin', 'London', 'Paris')
('Rome', 'Amsterdam', 'Berlin', 'Paris', 'London')
Here, our input list is 5 items long, and for every selection our remaining options decreases by 1.
In other words, our 5 inputs choose  items (or ).
If our input is  cities long, then the number of outputs is ; in general, assuming that we go through every permutation, then we will require  loops to complete it.
Little-o notation
A related concept to big-O notation is little-o notation.
Big-O is used to say that a function does not grow faster than another function, while little-o is used to say that a function grows more slowly than another function.
If two functions grow at the same rate, big-O can be used but little-o cannot.
The difference between big-O and little-o is similar to the difference between   and .
If  grows more slowly than , then  and .
If  grows at the same rate as , then  but .
If  grows at the faster than , then  and .
QI (Quite Interesting) is a British comedy television quiz show.
It is now hosted by Sandi Toksvig who took over from Stephen Fry.
There are four contestants in each show, of whom one is always Alan Davies.

The National Health Service is a government run health care organisation that provides health and medical services to citizens and residents of the United Kingdom.
It was started in 1948 and intended by its creators to be "free at the point of service".
This meant that people who use the NHS would not be required to pay for services each time they used them.
The promise of a health service that would be free at the point of service was broken almost right away with the start of prescription charges.
Prescription charges are a set price that people within England must pay for each item on a prescription form.
This charge is currently £8.60 for each item and is raised each year.
The NHS is made up of four systems: National Health Service (England), Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland, NHS Scotland and NHS Wales.
Each system is run by its government.
For example, National Health Service (England) is ran by the UK Government.
The systems are run in different ways depending on which country within the United Kingdom a person lives in.
For instance, there are no charges for prescriptions in Scotland or Wales, but there are in England.
The service also provides basic dental services and prescription eyeglasses, hearing aids, prosthetic limbs and other services.
There are normally charges at the point of service for these services unless one lives in a no-charge country or is considered a special needs case; such as children (aged up to 18, or up to 21 if you are a student), pregnant women or the elderly.
Cuts to the NHS
The coalition government has made cuts to the NHS.
On 29 September 2013 around 50,000 people protested in Manchester.
They set up a stage with banners saying things like 'Save Our NHS' around it.
Hospitals can now earn up to 50% of their income from private work.
The NHS has been criticized for working through a 'postcode lottery', meaning that access to quality treatment depends on where you live.
The percentage of diabetics getting the NICE recommended levels of care ranges from 6% to 69% depending on where they live.
