Fernanda 'Goldilocks' Jiménez Guerrero vs. Dmitri Markov Voronov - Underdog Story
Victory Conditions: Pinfall, Submission, or Knockout
Dmitri had been with the AFW for a good, long while. Five years, just over, on and off. It hadn't exactly been a storied, proud career, if he were being honest. One with a lot of lows and not many highs. A lot of valleys, but no real peaks he could speak of. Since his debut, he'd been defeated quite a few times, didn't have any real notable wins to his name, and he could've been fine with that. He wasn't here to get the Tension title or make any big splashes. He wasn't out to headline Showdown or anything. As a male in Anime Female Wrestling, you were supposed to just take whatever you could get.
But, somehow, that just wasn't cutting it for him anymore. As he made his way through the gorilla position for his match, he could hear the stagehands talking among themselves, wondering how quick this match would go, whether or not he'd get pinned or submitted, or maybe even knocked out. It seemed like they were hoping for that last option, knowing that a knockout would get them more views on social media, and they were hoping it would be a dominant victory, something they could really sell. That was how they saw him - not as a competitor, but porn fodder.
It was more than a little grating, and try as Dmitri might, he couldn't push it out of his head. But maybe that was a good thing, because it made him come to a decision.
Today, Dmitri was going to win. He wasn't sure how, or what move he'd used, but he was going to pick up that win, and no one was going to stop him.
The man that came out to the ring had a determined, driven face on, marching down without a hint of regret or worry as his theme music played out over the loudspeakers. He only took a brief stop near the end of the ramp, slowing down to tighten up his belt, before he dashed forward and slid into the ring. In a quick flourish, he popped to his feet and made his way over to the corner, bouncing from heel to heel as he went to stay pumped.
He was ready. He could do this.

"Man! feels weird to wrestle in this..." Back in the changing rooms, Fernanda dressed as if she was about to go hit the gym, not about to have a wrestling match, in her debut even! "Oh well, suerte o muerte!" She claimed, already deciding that she wouldn't let that stop her. Tonight, she would shock and awe AFW! A smooth, chill tone signalled her about the other fighter that would be her first victim opponent. "Yeesh! if his fighting style is anything like his music taste, this will be one-sided and messy" She said, only for Dmitri's theme to die out, moving on to her violent and loud intro, making the entirety of the arena tremble and reverberate. "A huevo!¹ That's more like it!"
The eager girl wasted no time, she had waited for so long, and now she was back at it! She sprinted at max speed followed by some pyrotechnics that tried to catch up to her but fell short. The blonde latina got up in the ring so fast that the smoke wasn't even fully cleared by the time she was face to face with the Russian boy, that was slightly taller than her. By the time the song finally ended, the whole arena fell silent for a second, screaming in pure excitement the other, as if Goldie's entrance put a flame beneath their asses.
Fernanda was gasping heavily, not only because of the record that she must have broken after arriving to the ring at neck-breaking speed, but also because her body was pumped full of adrenaline. She missed this so damn much! "Yo!" She finally presented herself to the boy that was her opponent after regaining her breath. "Mine's Fernanda! Call me Fer or Goldi if you'd like. What's yours? " She presented herself, forcibly taking his hand to give it a hard and steady shake that packed quite a punch. "Good job on being my first match, hope you don't hold it against me when I beat you!" She remarked smuggly, breaking the handshake and walking towards her corner.
After making such a big impact on the audience and other fighter, the Mexican wrestler started to prepare herself for the big moment. She hoped that she didn't lose her edge after not wrestling anyone for a couple months. And that Dmitri guy looked like he would be a fun experience! Goldilocks awaited for the bell to ring, stretching slightly in her corner, not taking her green eyes off of him for a second. Her intense stare practically yelling; "Ready or not! Once that bell rings, your ass is mine!"
Goldi's colorful language:
¹ Mexican slang, it means: "Fuck yeah!"
Scourger X
Location : Phase 1 (Ending)
The first word that popped into Dmitri's mind when Goldi came to the ring was 'energetic'. Extremely, infectiously, crazily energetic.
He had been standing there, puffing himself up, ready for the bout, when this woman slid into the ring, marched over and just started shaking his hand. Not a normal shake, either. She squeezed hard, pulled hard, shook so hard that he almost thought she would dislocate his arm. The woman had a lot of power in that frame, wasn't afraid to show it off, and it left him frazzled for a few moment after they parted.
When that moment passed, he straightened up and righted his hair, forcing some calm to come back over him as he looked her over. She was in shape, probably the biggest woman he'd faced since that cowgirl back in the day. That didn't necessarily mean he was in trouble - physique was nothing without the skill to back it up. But, still, something he would have to look out for.
"Dmitri. Me llamo Dmitri." He placed his heels together and gave her a quick bow, showing the proper respect and greeting Goldi in her native language. He rarely had an occasion to put his education in Spanish to good use, and this was as good an excuse as any. He had to say something witty to comeback at her, though. Really exude some confidence, show her that he meant business here.
"Yeah, well...we'll see!"
He tried to say that forcefully, but it just came out flat. Trashtalk was neer his forte, in or out of the ring. He'd just have to make up for it once the bell rang.
And speaking of which, there it was.
Dmitri rushed in the moment it sounded, closing in with a long, bold stride. He figured his best shot here was to test Goldi out, move in quick and pull away to gauge her reactions, so that was what he went for - a quick side kick, aimed at her stomach, before he bounced back and circled her out of range.
by Scourger X Sun Feb 21, 2021 9:06 am
Well, she would be damned! It looked like good ol' Dmitri knew his Spanish as well. Presenting himself with it. Made Goldi chuckle a bit, she found it endearing, really. But that wouldn't be enough to stop her from opening a can of whoop-ass on the poor guy. This was a wrestling match, after all, and Fernanda was all about complete domination or nuthin'. The Russian fella appeared to be slightly fazed by her introduction, which meant that he wasn't that impressed by her, or that he was a stoic guy. His bored way of speaking pointed at the second option being the most likely.
The moment the bell rang, Goldi stopped doing her warm-up exercises. She was about to go for the offensive, but the martial artist beat her to it. The Mexican girl saw it coming, she couldn't have dodged it, but she could have blocked. instead of doing that, she decided to take it. Why? Just for the insane curiosity to see if she would be able take what he was packin'. The boy kicked quite hard, much to her surprise. not that he was scrawny looking, but he was definitely no joke.
The latin girl gasped by the feel of getting hit straight in the gut as the force made her back off to the corner. Still, he would need to hit harder than that to keep her down! She smiled at the prospect of fighting a skilled martial artist, quickly sprinting towards him.
Fer would bring her hands up, ready to use the grip that she already introduced to him. Her intention was to grab his arms, which would probably be high as he also withdrew himself to adopt a defenseful position. She was buff, but she wasn't lacking in the speed department either, he might try to attack, but that would only make openings for her to use, he might try to run, but she wouldn't stop chasing until she got a hold of one of those arms. And when she did, Goldilocks would start to bend it in a standing Figure Four Arm Lock. "You are a real badass-lookin kinda' guy. But do you have the moves to back it up Dmi?" She asked in a smug tone.

Dmitri had a solid memory and could recall things that most people tended to forget over time. It was a talent that had served him well as an account, letting him keep notes together, recall meeting notes, and juggling numbers with ease, giving him an appreciated leg up over the competition.
That memory was why he could say, with a high degree of confidence, that Goldi was the first person in history to ever describe Dmitri as 'badass-looking'. Not in his presence, anyway. He suspected that record wouldn't be broken for a while, either. As compliments went, he was happy to take, but on the matter of whether or not he could back it up…
Less sure on that. But he'd see.
Goldi wasn't just talking, either, she was pressuring him, giving him little space to operate, tanking his kick and moving into grapple with him. He suspected that he couldn't keep up with it when it came to upperbody strength, and this just served to confirm that - she was able to overpower him with relative ease, forcing his arms up and getting them into a tight lock. Impressive work, really. She clearly knew what she was doing.
But so did he. Gritting his teeth, Dmitri endured the hold for a few moments before he started fighting back, lashing out and swing his knee into her hip, hoping to hit the bone and give her some incentive to release him.
by Scourger X Sat Feb 27, 2021 10:47 am
Being able to dance in the ring after her "hiatus" made Fernanda extremely eager, just like Dmitri himself was painfully experiencing. Perhaps she would have been less extreme in normal circumstances, but she wasn't one fighter to go easy with anyone. Also, she could tell, this guy wasn't made of paper, he would be able to take this like a champ, it's what the latina girl thought while she twisted his arm further.
"Ick!" A sharp shot of pain down there was the reason that broke Goldi's fixation on his poor arm. She let go of him and jumped back out of instincts, she then proceeded to rub the hurt zone. "Really?" She asked with a grimace, sounding like that literal low-blow left her unimpressed. "So, you're gonna be a pain in the ass, huh?" She snarked at the martial artist.
After looking at Dmitri for a good second, Goldi engaged once again, not wanting to give him any time to relax. She already knew that he was a striker, but now she was certain that tanking much of his hits could be dangerous, so she decided that this time she would need to be smart about this!
If she hurt his arm, it probably meant that he would try to retaliate with a kick, even more likely because that appeared to be his go-to attacks by the looks of it. So, the moment that leg would rise to strike her face, the blonde girl would try to go beneath him and test her luck with a Double Leg Takedown.
Goldilocks was going to go for his legs, sooner rather than later. He was sure enough on that to make a bet, if he were the sort of betting type.
It was just an inevitable thing, and an unavoidable consequence of being a strike-based fighter in the AFW. His legs might as well have had a bullseye on them. They were effective tools, but any wrestler worth their salt would know to target them. He'd been in more leg-based submission holds than he could count, and judging by his opponent's energetic demeanor, she'd be making attempts soon enough. She didn't strike him as the waiting type.
That assumption turned out to be well founded, as his opponent came at him low in the next moment, sliding into him and taking him at the knees with a double-leg takedown. It took him by surprise and brought him down, but that wasn't the real problem - no, that came from her being on top of him. Not the way he wanted to proceed.
He could only see one good play, and he went for it. Dmitri pushed up hard, brought his legs in, and tried to kick at her chest, just a mad attempt to get her off.
by Scourger X Fri Mar 05, 2021 3:42 am
It was practically second nature to her. No matter how much she hasn't done it, bringing someone down simply came naturally for Fernanda. She could even tell about many times she brought down friends who came to her from behind. So it didn't come as a surprise that she managed to bring good ol' Dmi down on his ass rather easily. The thing that she wasn't used to? Getting kicked in the way down. She appeared to forget the fact that her opponent was still kicking, literally.
"Auugh! Hijo de la-!" It hurts to be kicked in the chest. Specially if you're as stacked as Goldi was. Still, she managed to soldier through it, not giving the boy enough room to escape. Instead, she gave him a rather nasty look of violence, not the kind of violence that was part of sportsmanship, the kind of violence that makes people wince in pain. "Real bitch move Dmi! Real bitch move"
The Mexican wrestler took a handful of the Russian male's hair, and by pulling it, she proceeded to smash his head down on the floor once, twice, thrice and one last time. And this wasn't even her vendetta. This was just the anesthetics previous to it.
by acuyra Fri Mar 05, 2021 8:15 pm
Dmitri suspected he might have made a mistake, here. He came to that conclusion rather quickly, when his attempt to dislodge Goldilocks and get free just resulted in more pain on his side. He'd thought he could knock her away, but his attempt showed just how substantial and strong this woman - not only had it not worked, but it had only made her madder. Substantially madder.
"Wait, wait-"
Goldilocks did not, in fact, wait - instead, she barreled forward, grabbed him by the hair, and started ramming his skull into the canvas. The referee was already voicing her objections, but that wasn't enough to help him in time - his skull was bounced off the floor, over and over, leaving him seeing stars as he stared up at the ceiling. Not out, not close to it, but far more winded than he should've been so early in the match, even by his low standards.
This match was going to leave him sore for a while. He could already tell.
by Scourger X Thu Mar 11, 2021 11:19 am
Things went from 0 to 10 very fast, someone should have told Dmitri that Fernanda had a temper. Now the poor boy was getting his head harshly smashed against the ground repeatedly. that would be a killer headache for later. "What are you saying? You'll need to speak louder, I'm in the middle of some hammer work!" She said, finally ending it with three specially potent head slams.
The sadistic girl looked down on him. "Maybe I went to harsh on him?" She thought for herself after admiring the mess she did with the russian boy looked to the roof as if he was freshly hit by a truck. "Nah!"
After deciding that he still needed a bigger beating. Goldi grabbed him by the collar of his attire to make him get up. He probably wouldn't be fully conscious, so he wouldn't be able to stop her from beating him up even further. Once he was back to his feet (more or less) she would try to Irish Whip him to the ropes, it would be a strong push, so he probably would come back to her like a human boomerang.
Once Dmitri bounced off the ropes towards the blonde Mexican, she would be waiting for him in a grappling position. If he was unable to do anything, she would simply lift him up by the shoulder and legs, only to violently drop him on his back once again with a traditional Body Slam.

2020 Toyota Corolla: need to know
A car known for being safe and reliable now has other attributes: More style and technology
Buyers Advice & Car Reviews
More than 46 million Toyota Corollas have been sold since the nameplate's beginnings in the 1960s, making it the most popular one in automotive history.
That means there's constant pressure on Toyota to keep the ball moving forward in terms of comfort, reliability, and resale value.
The new 12th-generation Corolla sedan, which joins the new-for-2019 Corolla Hatchback, might not be the sharpest-looking sled on the block, or the quickest, but it's special for other reasons. The Corolla is ideal for people who don't want to think about how the car works, but believe it will work faithfully and safely well past the powertrain warranty stage and/or the monthly loan or lease commitment.
The 2020 model does however shed much of its previous design frumpiness, including a nose that keeps faith with Toyota's signature open-mouth grille. A reduction of about 2.5 centimetres in body height — plus a hood that's 3.5 centimetres lower — means a noticeably sleeker silhouette. More curves and creases elsewhere give the Corolla a much-needed character injection.
The adoption of Toyota's latest TGNA platform hasn't resulted in any increases to the Corolla's length, width, trunk volume or distance between the front and rear wheels, but the available powertrains now sit slightly closer to the ground, which means a lower centre of gravity. As well, a new independent rear suspension replaces the previous torsion-beam unit and is claimed to improve both handling and ride comfort.
A redesigned dashboard includes a tablet-style touch screen, larger floor console and armrest, and better-quality trim and seat fabrics.
For 2020, there are three different powerplant choices for Corolla buyers to ponder. The base unit is a 1.8-litre four-cylinder that basically carries over from 2019 and is rated at 139 horsepower and 126 pound-feet of torque.
Optional is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder — standard issue in the Hatchback — that produces 169 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque.
A six-speed manual transmission is standard with the 1.8, while a continuously variable unit (CVT) is optional, but standard with the 2.0.
For the first time, the Corolla can be ordered with a hybrid system that's similar to what's used in the Toyota Prius. Its 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine (with a CVT) combines with a pair of electric motors to produce 121 horsepower and 105 pound-feet of torque.
As with the Prius, the Corolla Hybrid's battery pack is located beneath the rear seat (and not within the trunk) so there's no reduction in storage space with the seatback in place or folded flat.
Best-fuel-economy honours go to the Hybrid with 4.5 l/100 km in combined city-highway driving. That trounces the next-best 2.0-litre four-cylinder model that earns a rarting of 6.7 l/100 km (combined). Interestingly, the base 1.8/CVT is a bit thirstier at 7.1 l/100 km, combined.
The base Corolla L starts at $19,800, including destination fees. That gets you fleet-level basics, a seven-inch touch-screen with navigation, and Toyota's Safety Sense suite of dynamic safety technologies.
The LE trim comes with an eight-inch touch screen, automatic climate control, premium fabric upholstery and up-level interior trim. The SE gets a unique grille and rocker-panel trim, paddle shifters for the CVT, and 18-inch alloy wheels (smaller steelies for the L and LE). You'll pay a bit more for the SE, but you get the 2.0-litre engine plus sport-type front seats with more side bolstering.
The XLE comes with a power moonroof, adaptive headlights (pivoting left and right as you turn), heated front seats and a premium JBL-brand audio package. The top-rung XSE receives most of the SE's content (including the more powerful engine with normal and sport driving modes) plus a premium sound system.
Note that the Hybrid costs $3,000 more than the comparably equipped non-hybrid LE.
As a cornerstone vehicle for Toyota, there's a lot riding on any Corolla redesign, and perhaps more so in the face of a declining small-car market. After more than 46 million vehicles sold, reliability is perhaps a given for the Corolla. This time around there's greater emphasis on style and powertrain technology, further enticement for buyers to join the club.
What you should know: 2020 Toyota Corolla
Type: Four-door, front-wheel-drive compact sedan
Engines (h.p.): 1.8-litre DOHC I-4, (139); 2.0-litre DOHC I-4 (169) 1.8-litre DOHC I-4 plus electric motor (121 net)
Transmission: Continuously variable (CVT); six-speed manual (opt.)
Market position: The world's best-selling automobile brand has a history of success spanning five decades. With each successive generation, the Corolla's reputation as a trusted and trouble-free conveyance has remained intact.
Points: Much improved in the looks department. • New interior treatments and a modern-design touch screen should help bolster interest. • Available 169-horsepower 2.0-litre engine is quite an improvement over the underwhelming base 1.8. • For more space, the Hatchback is a viable alternative. • An all-wheel-drive option is rumoured to be on the way.
Active safety: Blind-spot warning with cross-traffic backup alert (opt.); active cruise control (std.); emergency braking (std.); pedestrian detection (std.)
BY COMPARISON
High-style model is available in sedan or hatchback with up to 186 h.p on tap.
Great style, roomy interior and standard 147-h.p. engine make it a fun ride.
The Passat's junior relation has a punchy turbo I-4. GLI version can really hustle.

Slack to offer permanent work from home to most employees
Slack is giving its employees the option to make remote work the new normal in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, according to a blog post by the company's senior vice president of people Robby Kwok.
"Slack is going to become a much more distributed company," Kwok said. "That means most employees will have the option to work remotely on a permanent basis if they choose, and we will begin to increasingly hire employees who are permanently remote."
✔@SlackHQ
Update on Slack office closures from Slack SVP of People Robby Kwok https://bit.ly/3cWmXgY
11:30 PM - Jun 12, 2020
Kwok added that the company would extend its work from home policy indefinitely beyond Sept. 1 due to the "complexities of reopening our spaces and desire to prioritize the health and safety of our employees."
"We don't yet have a date when offices will reopen for limited use, but we'll continue to monitor the situation and share updates as we know more," Kwok said.
Slack is the latest company to offer employees the option to work from home indefinitely, following similar announcements by Facebook and Twitter last month.
Kwok noted that when Slack's offices eventually do reopen, there will be fewer amenities, less focus on in-person meetings, and more options for employees to pursue "solo work." As a result, the company will also pay all of its contractors through the end of the year.
A CreditCards.com survey conducted in May found that 35 percent of Americans working from home would prefer not returning to the office even after state and local restrictions lift across the country and despite Americans seeing their monthly expenses increase by an average of $108."Although there are many things we can't know about what work will look like in the future, the Slack team is working tirelessly to understand our options, determine what choices we need to make, and understand how best to support our employees and our company over the long term," Kwok added. "We are closely monitoring the situation globally and will provide further updates as new information is available."
According to the survey, the biggest increase in expenses was for groceries and utilities, which went up an average of $182 and $121 per month respectively. The lowest increases were for childcare at an average of $34 per month, gas or public transportation at an average of $33 per month, restaurants at $27 per month, and clothing or dry cleaning at $4 per month.


"We didn't land a blow on them but we bounced back to beat Hillside 9-0 on our home patch then scored brilliant away wins over Tanfield, 8-1, and defending champions Carrick Knowe, 7-2," said a spokesman.
Queenberry went on to win nine of their 14 fixtures, including a 7-2 retaliation at home to Craigentinny, and their final total of 75 was nine points more than their early-season masters.
Craigentinny finished in third place some two points adrift of Northern (68) while 2017 champions Carrick Knowe came fourth (65) followed by Bainfield (65), Tanfield (60), Parkside (54) and Hillside (51).
Wardie have won the Division 2 2nd XVI honours for a fourth time having finished six points clear of Corstorphine.
They helped their cause with 9-0 wins over Brunstane at home, Willowbrae (home and away), and Dudley (home). They also beat Maitland 8-1 at home, and won nine games to the 11 of Corstorphine. Wardie scored 85 points, Corstorphine 79, Brunsatne 73½, Postal 69, Goldenacre 65, Maitland 59, Willowbrae 38½, and Dudley 35.
Slateford dominated the race for the Division 3 title with the Water of Leith migrants inspired by 9-0 wins at home to London Road Foundry, and away to Liberton and Mayfield.
Summerside and Leith won the same number of games as the champions (9/14) but finished second and third respectively. Slateford amassed 76 points, Summerside 66, Leith 65, Sighthill 55, Colinton 50, Mayfield 49, LRF 43, and Liberton 36.
It is greatly to the credit of the EBL that its objective of providing competitive and meaningful league and knockout bowling to its membership reaches deep into the grassroots and embraces a 3rd Team scenario.
The 2018 Champions are the players of Corstorphine, Carrick Knowe, and Tramways. Corstorphine won eight of their 14 games to capture the Division 1 title with 42 points, ahead of West End (39), Craigentinny A (38), Maitland A (35), Dean (33), Maitland B (32), Wardie (31), and Queensberry (30).
Carrick Knowe were colossal in capturing the Division 2 honours with an unbeaten 12 wins out of 12 that saw them amass 54 points and finish 15 clear of second-placed Brunstane. The other placings were, Craigentinny B (33), Craigmillar Park (25), LRF (22), Willowbrae (21), Ferranti (16).
Tramways won the title in nailbiting circumstances having finished a half point ahead of Merchiston after ten games. Tramways achieved 35½ points, Merchiston 35, Leith 27, Summerside 20½, Whitehouse & Grange 18, and Trinity 14.
• Friday's final of the WLBA Seniors Top Ten played at Stoneyburn saw Ratho capture the title for the first time as they outgunned Mid Calder in all four disciplines to win 8-0.
Norrie Alexander kicked on from 15-10 in the Singles to hit 21 with a run of 1, 2, 1, 2 to beat Stan Gardiner across 20 ends. Jim Speirs – the reigning County Singles Champion proper – skipped George Bruce to a 15-7 win over John Jamieson and Jim Gow in the Pairs, while the Triple of Jim Burns Stan Lumsden and Stuart Smith beat Alan Findlay, Bob Garioch, and Phil Harvey, 23-11.
The rink of Tam Hill, Tam Sibbald, George Fairley, and Murray Paxton won the Fours at the 13-8 expense of Bruce Wardropper, Ian Hill, George Wardie, and Brian Fairley.
Ratho Seniors are also the inaugural winners of the DMW Knockout Cup.

Q: OnChanges won't detect the changes I am creating a simple app. And I pass an array to the child component. When I remove an item from the array, ngOnChanges won't detect the changes unless I refresh the page.
I can log the changes only once at the first page load but not when the array changes.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Parent Component:

In Cart

    <mat-card class="list-item" *ngFor="let x of shoppingCart">

{{ x.title }}

      <button color="warn" mat-icon-button (click)="deleteFromCart(x)">
        <mat-icon class="material-icons">clear</mat-icon>
      </button>
    </mat-card>
    <app-calculator [shoppingCart]="shoppingCart"></app-calculator>

  <app-favourites></app-favourites>

import { Component, Input, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { ProductModel } from 'src/app/models/product/product-model';
import { CartService } from 'src/app/services/cart.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-shopping-cart',
  templateUrl: './shopping-cart.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./shopping-cart.component.scss']
})
export class ShoppingCartComponent implements OnInit {
  public shoppingCart: ProductModel[] = [];

  constructor(
    private cartService: CartService
  ) {}

  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.getItems();
  }

  getItems(): void {
    this.shoppingCart = this.cartService.getItems();
  }

  deleteFromCart(item: ProductModel): void {
    this.shoppingCart = this.cartService.deleteItemFromCart(item);
  }
}

Child Component:
import { Component, Input, OnChanges, SimpleChanges } from '@angular/core';
import { ProductModel } from 'src/app/models/product/product-model';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-calculator',
  templateUrl: './calculator.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./calculator.component.scss']
})
export class CalculatorComponent implements OnChanges {
  @Input() shoppingCart: ProductModel[] = [];
  public total: number = 0;

  constructor() {}

  ngOnChanges(changes: SimpleChanges): void {
    console.log(changes)
  }
}

A: Try this:
  deleteFromCart(item: ProductModel): void {
    this.shoppingCart = [...this.cartService.deleteItemFromCart(item)];
  }

But it's more correct that cartService.deleteItemFromCart returns a copy of the array of items without the item removed, rather than returning the same array from which the item was removed.

A: I guess the problem is with your change detection. I'm not sure how exactly your service looks like and if it returns observable or array, so the easiest way to check where the problem is:

*

*log this.shoppingCart in your deleteFromCart(). If it logs out the right result ( so the item is removed ) - that means the problem is with change detection. Perhaps you're not assigning the array again, you're just modifying it, so angular doesn't check for the changes. This would mean that you have two options to fix the problem. The better way:
deleteFromCart(item: ProductModel): void {
  this.shoppingCart = [...this.cartService.deleteItemFromCart(item)];
}

This would assign a totally new array to this.shoppingCart and would trigger angular to check for changes.  The "worse" way, is to add private changeDetectorRef: ChangeDetectorRef in your constructor, and then:
deleteFromCart(item: ProductModel): void {
  this.shoppingCart = this.cartService.deleteItemFromCart(item);
  this.changeDetectorRef.markForChanges()
}

This will tell angular that he must check if anything has changed - but it's not a good way ( it's best to avoid changeDetectorRef)

*If your log is saying that result is still the same - then it would mean that your service is doing something wrong, and then you should check what's going on over there - you can paste the code here so we can help.

A: You are right, adding or removing an item would not raise onChanges event, because the array object's reference is not changed. If you want to force onChanges then you'll have to create a new array object each time you modify the array. Something like this
      deleteFromCart(item: ProductModel): void {
    this.shoppingCart = [...this.cartService.deleteItemFromCart(item)];
  }

Otherwise if you just want to check whether the array change event is raised, you have plenty of other methods for example you can put the array inside a service where its accessible from both parent and child component,  or you can create a subject and subscribe to it in the child component.


Government works best when it operates transparently, and with the public interest as its sole aim. Because of that, fighting corruption has long been a top priority of federal prosecutors in Connecticut and across the Department of Justice. Today's historic resolution is an important reminder that mandate to stamp out corruption does not stop at any border, whether city, state, or national. For years, Alstom has operated in the shadows, secretly lining the pockets of government officials around the globe in order to secure millions of dollars in public contracts. They ensured that the contracts would not necessarily go to the most qualified bidders, or the best products, but instead to whomever was willing to pay off the right decision makers. They covered up those payments in some time honored ways: by using so-called consultants whose sole value was access to corrupt officials, and by recording bribes on their books and records as commissions and consultancy fees.
A significant part of this illicit work was unfortunately carried out from Alstom Power's office in Windsor, Connecticut. Alstom Power, and before it ABB and Combustion Engineering, has been an important part of the fabric of our state since the 1950's and an employer of hundreds in the Hartford area. Yet as this case makes clear, executives and employees from Windsor worked hand in hand with co-conspirators elsewhere to bribe officials in places such as Indonesia, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. I am hopeful that this resolution, and in particular the deferred prosecution agreement with Alstom Power, will provide the company an opportunity to reshape its culture and restore its place as a respected corporate citizen.
I applaud Mr. Cole, Ms. Caldwell, the prosecutors of the Department's Fraud Section, the FBI, and prosecutors in my office, particularly David Novick, for the years they have spent in seeing justice done here. Their successful collaboration is a model for how effective this Department can be. I echo all of the thanks given by Ms. Caldwell and Mr. Cole, and I also want to single out the special agents of the Meriden, Connecticut office of the FBI, who have provided significant support in the investigation of this case.

Student groups plan second Pro-Choice Day
Politics, privacy and same-sex marriage will all be celebrated on April 10 in the University Center at Northern Kentucky University. Common Ground, NKU's gay-straight alliance, and NKU Students for Choice, a pro-choice advocacy organization, will be hosting a series of events as part of their Second Annual Pro-Choice Day.
The goal is to have a same-sex marriage ceremony occur on campus, according to Jacob Barrett of the Kentucky Equality Federation, a state-wide advocacy group for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. The KEF is working with Common Ground to host the event. Presently, Barrett said they do not have a minister willing to officiate the ceremony due to schedule conflicts.
The same-sex marriage ceremony has been postponed twice, once due to weather, and again when the NKU employee and Universal Life Church minister was who was to officiate the wedding, Sam Lapin, backed out of the ceremony after concerns arose from University administrators and his supervisors. Those administrators and supervisors felt the marriage ceremony might elicit controversy and impact Senate Bill 112, which would restrict universities from extending benefits to domestic partners of gay employees. The KEF was not involved in those attempts.
Lapin has not been asked to officiate the ceremony this time around, however, he said he hopes the event is "a great success."
The event is being advertised as "an official Celebration of Marriage" through flyers posted around campus.
In a previous interview with the Kentucky Enquirer, Sara Sidebottom, vice president for legal affairs and general counsel, said "I didn't judge the ceremony, I judged the word 'official,'" referencing previous advertisements that prompted her office to raise concerns about the ceremony. Sidebottom was unavailable for comment prior to press time, and Jay Manire, associate legal counsel, refused to comment.
It is illegal for a person qualified to perform marraiges to legally marry same-sex couples. The use of the word "official" makes it seem like the marriage would be legally recognized. However, Kentucky does not recognize such marriages.
Members of Common Ground did not respond to The Northerner's requests for information.
The same-sex marriage celebration will wrap up a full day of events. It is scheduled to take place at 4:00 p.m. in the University Center lobby.
At 2:30, Kentucky State Senator Ernesto Scorsone (D-Fayette), an attorney who successfully had Kentucky's anti-sodomy statutes overturned and a supporter of gay rights issues, will address NKU students in the UC Ballroom.
"I'm going to talk about some of the legal and political issues involving the gay community," Scorsone said. He said part of his speech would likely include comments on his legal battle to legalize sodomy in the Commonwealth.
"Senator Scorsone is an amazing and effective member of the Senate, and as soon as we were planning on focusing this day on personal empowerment in politics, he was the natural first choice," said Erin Sandy, vice president for NKU Students for Choice.
Scorsone will be joined by Tara Bonistall, of Planned Parenthood, who will address legal issues relating to women's rights in Ohio and Kentucky
From 10:30 to 2:30 p.m., the organizations will host a Personal Power ' Politics fair that will feature organizations including The KEF, Staff and Faculty for Equality, Educators for Reproductive Freedom, the American Civil Liberties Union, Reproductive Freedom Project, Women's Crisis Center, National Organization for Women, Cincinnati Women's Political Caucus, Planned Parenthood, and Obama and Clinton campaign representatives.
Sandy also said she believes the issues of her organization are related to those of Common Ground.
"Students for Choice believes that couples, not the government, should decide if they will marry, and that this is a pro-choice, pro-freedom value, so therefore we proudly stand by and support Common Ground," she said.
While students inside the University Center will be learning about pro-choice and gay rights issues, outside in the UC plaza will be a pro-life display comparing abortion to historic images of genocide. The display is sponsored by Northern Right to Life.
Northern Right to Life expects "pro-choicers" to protest the display, according to Katie Walker, the organization's president. However, Sandy said that she hopes no such protest of their event will take place.
"I don't imagine Right to Life [or any other organization] protesting against educating people about their role in the political sphere, and politics' role in their lives," Sandy said, adding that the NKU Students for Choice president, Alex Kindell, has invited Northern Right to Life to share information and literature about their viewpoints at the event instead of protesting.
NRTL expects "pro-choicers" to protest the display, according to Katie Walker, the organization's president. However, Sandy said that she hopes no such protest of their event will take place.

Q: How do I determine the row number of the row the function is executed in? (VBA) How do I find out the row the function is executed in? Just an example:
Function getRowNumber () as Integer
     getRowNumber = ???
End Function

I need this because I wrote a function that is supposed to return values from the same row (formular gets its own column and then calculates more than 300 different values for these 300+ rows). Or is there another way how I address values in the row?

A: You can use the Application.Caller property in this case. Something like the following may help you.
Function Tester() As Long
    Dim o As Object
    Set o = Application.Caller

The Rotterdam Lab, a five-day training workshop for producers, is designed to build up their international network and experience. It is an initiative of the International Film Festival Rotterdam's CineMart in cooperation with its international partnering organizations. The Rotterdam Lab consists of panel discussions illustrating the process by which a project in need of financing is completed and brought to its audience, as well as speed dating sessions in which selected producers meet with industry delegates in person and receive advice about their own projects.
The Rotterdam Lab runs concurrently with the CineMart co-production market, from January 25 – January 29, 2020. Attending Rotterdam on behalf of IFP will be Senior Program Manager & Producer (International & Episodic), Gabriele Capolino.

LeBron James leads dominant Los Angeles Lakers into Western Conference finals
Dave McMenaminESPN Staff Writer
Lakers and NBA reporter for ESPN.
Covered the Lakers and NBA for ESPNLosAngeles.com from 2009-14, the Cavaliers from 2014-18 for ESPN.com and the NBA for NBA.com from 2005-09.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- A one-year break for LeBron James and a nine-year hiatus for his franchise came to an end on Saturday: James and the Los Angeles Lakers are back in the conference finals.
James poured in 29 points to go along with 11 rebounds and 7 assists in the Lakers' 119-96 Game 5 victory over the Houston Rockets, storming back to take the Western Conference semifinals series 4-1 after Houston upset L.A. in Game 1.
The Lakers' star improved to 37-10 in closeout opportunities, extending his streak to five consecutive wins in that situation. And L.A. snapped the longest cold spell in team history without making it to the round that determines a berth in the NBA Finals.
L.A. missed the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season last year in James' maiden season with the Lakers -- ending his personal run of eight straight Finals appearances and 14 straight postseason nods -- but Year 2, teamed up with Anthony Davis and a cast of tested veterans, has been a different story.
"I know what my name, my stature, and what I've done in this league comes with whenever I decide to join a franchise," said James, who registered his 133rd 25-5-5 game in the postseason since 2006, which leads the league. His closest competition in that span is Russell Westbrook with 42. "I know what my name comes with. And it comes with winning. I take that responsibility to the utmost [more] than anything. ...
"I understand the Laker faithful and what they felt or maybe were going through over the, I want to say the last decade, of not being in the postseason, not competing for championships or whatever the case may be. I took that responsibility as well."

Morris: Clippers relying on being good 'on paper'

Through the first two rounds of the playoffs, L.A.'s chief responsibility has been figuring out how to stop the high-powered offenses of the Portland Trail Blazers and the Rockets.
Facing a uniquely structured Houston team that traded its center, Clint Capela, midseason to go all-in on coach Mike D'Antoni's small-ball approach, L.A. beat the Rockets at their own game as the series played out.
L.A. took control by turning to Markieff Morris as its starting big man in place of JaVale McGee from halftime of Game 3 through the end of the series and dominated. The Lakers held a 20-plus point lead over the Rockets in three of the final four games of the series -- including a 30-point cushion Saturday.
Morris had 16 points on 6-for-7 shooting in Game 5 and went 4-for-4 on 3-pointers. L.A. outshot the Rockets from the outside as a team Saturday, going 19-for-37 from 3 (51.4%) compared to Houston's 13-for-49 (26.5%).
Morris, who had nearly as many fouls (15) as points (19) in five games against Portland, was one of several Lakers role players to have redemptive second rounds. Guard Rajon Rondo, out since March because of a fractured right thumb and back spasms, turned the series around with 10 points, 9 assists and 5 steals in Game 2; followed by 21 points and nine assists in Game 3; and 11 points, 8 assists and 10 rebounds in Game 4. Danny Green, who shot only 7-for-28 from 3 in the seeding round, closed out the second round by going a combined 6-for-11 from deep in Games 4 and 5.
"Just keeping the main thing the main thing. And for us it's the opportunity to play for a championship. That's what we're all here for. That's what we all signed up for," James said when asked to explain the improvement L.A. has shown as a group. "We have guys step up at times and we all feed off one another. It's very important and very key for our ballclub."
The Lakers are now 8-2 in the playoffs -- having dispatched both the bubble MVP, Damian Lillard, and the league's scoring champion, James Harden. And they've shown a marked improvement in their play after going just 3-5 in the seeding round when the team first arrived in Orlando.
"It just takes a little time to jell. We had four months off and obviously the guys had to get their legs back under them, rhythm and timing, all those types of things," Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. "But the confidence that I've had in this group has been strong all the way through and I'm excited about what we can accomplish going forward, not just what we've accomplished thus far."
The Lakers will await the winner of the LA Clippers-Denver Nuggets series -- which the Clippers lead 3-2 heading into Sunday's Game 6 -- to see if Los Angeles' first NBA city series will be played out in the bubble in Florida or if the Lakers will face the Nuggets in a rematch of the 2009 conference finals.
Davis, who had 13 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists to advance to the conference finals for the first time in his eight-year career, said L.A. will be ready for either scenario.
"Defensively, the way we played, guys being on a string, guys talking, guys covering for each other, just gave us a lot more confidence to put pressure on the ball knowing that someone has your back," he said. "The way we finished the last two games in this series is very impactful and it's going to help us through the next round."

There are several motivations behind the M&A wave. Many observers will cite the large cash stockpiles, but this may be a bit misleading The sizable cash holdings are highly concentrated. Also, it is not clear that a disproportionate amount of the deals are for cash. With equity prices at elevated levels, there may be an incentive to use stock.
Horizontal acquisitions may be a form of industry rationalization in the sense of getting rid of excess capacity. Vertical acquisitions may be a way to secure supply lines or distribution channels. Some acquisitions may be a means of diversification into new or complimentary product lines.
M&A activity, like share buy backs, may also reduce the number of shares outstanding, which all else being equal, support prices. At the same time, given the rally equity market rally, which may be a side effect of the easy monetary policy as opposed to robust competitiveness, profitability and earnings momentum of corporations, the acquirers risk paying too much. Later they may have to mark down the "goodwill". Lastly, often times business exaggerate the cost savings and profitability of the acquisition and later unwind it.

Man Utd look to hijack Chelsea bid for Lyon youngster
Karan Tejwani
24 Jan 2023 10:45 GMT
Manchester United are looking to hijack Chelsea's bid for Lyon right-back Malo Gusto as interest in the player is starting to rise in recent weeks.
Gusto broke into the Lyon team this season and has become a permanent fixture for the side, attracting interest from across Europe with his impressive performances.
The 19-year-old prospect has caught the eye of many including the French national set-up and he is expected to have a bright future in the game.

However, Manchester United are now looking to enter the race for him and want to tempt him away from a move to Chelsea in the winter.
Man Utd look to hijack Chelsea bid
Chelsea are looking to improve their options at right-back following an injury suffered by Reece James that will keep him out of action for a significant portion of the remainder of the season.
The Blues have had a problem in that position for a while and manager Graham Potter is keen to fix that in the transfer window, with the club already having spent big in the winter.
READ: Exclusive: Chelsea's Gusto interest could snowball as Man City and Spurs keep tabs
They've completed the signings of Mykhaylo Mudryk, Benoit Badiashile and Noni Madueke and are open to signing more players in January with a week remaining in the window.
Manchester United, too, are looking to improve in the same position with Diogo Dalot suffering from injury problems in recent weeks following his return from World Cup action.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka has deputized for the Portuguese since domestic football resumed and has done well, establishing a future for himself until at least the end of the season.
However, Erik ten Hag does want a player with more attacking prowess and for that reason, Gusto may be brought in from Lyon to take up a position in the team.
With just a week remaining in the window, the Red Devils will have to move fast if they want to get Gusto from under Chelsea's noses or risk seeing him go to Stamford Bridge.

Are you one of those countless Americans with an imperfect credit background? And are you really feeling the sting this gloomy economy? Well, not everybody is perfect. And in this economy it can be the difference between staying at home and moving on your dream vacation. But there are ways to get around these obstacles to acquire the holiday you have always dreamed about.
orlando auto equity loans allow many individuals, a lot of those who have shaky fiscal histories, access to the credit they require. Not only do all these agreements require hardly any paper work, but they can be completed on the net in almost no time. Now, that fantasy of a faraway vacation, maybe even to Bora Bora isn't just practical, but obtainable with the completion of a couple forms.
Automobile equity loans are not just easier to get than payday loans, but they also generally offer more income. That is because these kinds of agreements are what's known as secured loans, meaning that not only can they provide less risk for the lender, but they allow the lender to offer a larger payout upfront.
And because these are less risky trades for the lender, they let you the borrower, money that you may not have had access to otherwise. In many aspects, these gain both parties. They could only be your answer.
Automobile equity loans are simple and effortless. In essence, they really only require two items. One, you need to get a vehicle; the paperwork needs to be below your title. And two, that vehicle must be paid off. So so for all practical purposes, you need to have the vehicle you're setting up for collateral, which is really one thing. From that point you go online, fill out a little paperwork, and at almost no time, you've got your loan. And today, you're one step closer to that holiday.
Auto equity loans are more attractive to lenders than say, payday loans, since the debtor, in this case, you, puts up their automobile for collateral. This is known as a secured loan, because something is offered as security in case the borrower faults on the arrangement.
In instances where the cash is not paid back, the creditor reclaims the vehicle in lieu of payment. In most cases, the borrower may get around 50 percent of the car's wholesale price. This is because often the purchase price of the automobile lowers from the time of the original transaction to the period once the amount is fully paid back. It gives the lender piece of mind that all the money owed is being recovered.
Normally the lender will ask the borrower consent to make them conscious of any speeches changes throughout the tenure of this loan and that they agree not to file for bankruptcy. This assists not only ensure the debt is going to be paid back but that they can lend again in the future. So maybe your credit problems won't affect your holiday after all.
Before agreeing to a fiscal agreement of the type, be sure you fully understand the terms. A little extra time at the pc comparing rates and terms from several businesses can really pay off in the end. Check out and see if automobile equity loans are right for you.


"Don't plan to leave Harvard with just a degree in a specific discipline. Plan to leave with your whole Harvard experience," recommends Harvard Graduate Council President Philip Harding.
You can feel it. This time of year breathes a sense of the new and the familiar, mixed with a touch of uncertainty. The long-lasting traditions that welcome Harvard students have become new again. Resource fairs, orientations, panels, lofty speeches, dinners, tours, and service days have greeted incoming students all across the University. At these events, I have had a chance to reflect on my own experience as new students have asked for my biggest advice on being a graduate student at Harvard.
I'd like to share with you a way of thinking about your experience here as a student that will stay with you and can change your life forever. You might think I'm being a little dramatic, but I'm speaking from experience.
Don't plan to leave Harvard with just a degree in a specific discipline. Plan to leave with your whole Harvard experience.
While we have 12 graduate Schools here, we only have one Harvard. Harvard means more than just a collection of books donated by a man whose face is inaccurately portrayed on a statue in the Yard. Harvard is what binds us together as a student community and what will keep us together as alumni for life. Although your academic experiences might differ across disciplines, you are first a Harvard student. Then, you are a government, law, design, theology, public health, education, medical, dental, engineering, or doctoral student. Take a look at your "home" School name and see what comes first.
This way of thinking about your experience is the key to unlocking the most out of your time at Harvard. This year, get out of your "home" grad school bubble and make connections across the University. Nurture your sense of intellectual curiosity and passion for making a difference in the world. You will not only open your mind to new possibilities, but you might meet that new business partner to launch your startup or make that one introduction, combined with your crazy idea, that could save many lives. And along the way, you might just make some lifelong friends.
Harvard has introduced me to friends who are blasting particles through tubes in laboratories that have emergency chemical showers in the hallway, friends who are working with mice to extend human life spans and cure cancer, friends who are legal experts on mergers and acquisitions, friends who are making investment decisions worth billions of dollars, friends who wrote speeches for POTUS, friends who are Black Hawk helicopter pilots, friends who can help me sequence my DNA on campus, and the list goes on.
There is no single School at Harvard where you can build these kinds of diverse social and academic relationships. You need to realize you are part of something even bigger than you imagined when you applied. Now that you are here, make the most of it.
New and returning students, welcome to Harvard.
Philip Harding is an M.P.P. student at Harvard Kennedy School and president of the Harvard Graduate Council, the student government for the 12 graduate and professional Schools.

Most job transitions result in a great deal of knowledge loss. Some of it may be inevitable. However, that knowledge loss can be mitigated by having the successor identified early and planning for some job overlap with the person leaving. This is often not possible because either the successor cannot be identified early and/or funding the overlap time is challenging. In most cases of job transition that I have recently witnessed, the person leaves and even when he/she is replaced swiftly, there is no handover.
One notable exception to mention: A colleague, knowing that she would not be able to meet her replacement, spent some time creating onboarding videos for her successor, using simple video tools resulting in instructions based on narrated screencaptures. This was invaluable to the successors who would otherwise have struggled for weeks to understand how things were done and where the relevant documents were to be found. This seemed to be more powerful than any written down instructions. My own instinct would have been to create written instructions with screen captures. A document can be scanned faster to get to what you need, but a collection of short videos can do the job as well.
An employer and a customer who both know about my departure and who support the transition.
1. How to prepare for the next stage of my career (full time consulting on my own).
2. How to prepare my successor so that she can successfully take over my current job.
The initial analysis is very similar in both cases.
What are my current skills, experiences, expertise? How will they transfer to consulting?
What are some of the skills and knowledge gaps I can identify now and address in the coming year?
What are my successor's current skills, experiences, expertise? How will they transfer over when she takes over my job? Obviously she has been selected as my possible replacement because she is perceived to be a good match for the position to begin with.
What are some of her skills and knowledge gaps and how can I help address these in the coming year?
We're not going to have a full year of overlap, but we're already set to have lunch conversations once a week.

Title: Sport Climbing Olympics Bound
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) in session at Rio officially approved the addition of Sport Climbing to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
The journey to the Olympics was a long and difficult process for the International Sports Climbing Federation (IFSC). In September of 2014, the IOC unanimously approved the progressive Olympic Agenda 2020 in its entirety which proposed additional events for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Nearly two years later and after many intermediate steps, the 129th IOC Session in Rio de Janeiro approved five additional events for Tokyo 2020: baseball/softball, karate, skateboarding, sport climbing and surfing. After much anticipation and hard work, the Olympics dream has finally come true for Sport Climbing.
"We are so happy that Sport Climbing will be participating in the Games of Tokyo," says IFSC President Marco Scolaris. "The Olympics have been our dream for quite some time, and now the hard work has finally paid off. We would like to thank the IOC for extending a truly unique opportunity to our sport."
Although the journey to official approval has concluded, the work is far from finished. The IFSC will immediately begin working on the technical aspects of the Olympic Sport Climbing competitions, and the selection process will be drafted and presented on March 11, 2017, at the IFSC Plenary Assembly in Quebec City.
The IOC Session in Rio also announced today the proposed venues for the Tokyo 2020 Additional Events. Althought the IOC Executive Board will not make a final decision until December, the proposed venue for Sport Climbing competitions is in the "Aomi," Koto Ward, within the "Odaiba Area" of the Tokyo Metropolis.
In the meantime, the IFSC will work closely with the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games Organizing Committee and the IOC to finalize venue and infrastructure details, in order to offer the best of Sport Climbing in Tokyo.
"We have reached the final hold of our unbelievable climb, but another climb awaits us. Our team is committed to preparing Sport Climbing for the Olympic Games, and over the next four years we will continue to work with the IOC to do so," concludes Scolaris.
Here is the link to the official News on the IOC website, as well as the official IFSC Press Release.

Q: When and how is a group of order n isomorphic to a regular subgroup of equal order? In "Group Theory and Its Application to Physical Problems" by Morton Hamermesh, Morton states Cayley's theorem: Every group G of order n is isomorphic with a subgroup of the symmetric group Sn, which makes sense to me.
Later the book discusses regular permutations and regular subgroups, and makes this statement: "...suppose that n is a prime number. Then the group of order n is isomorphic to a regular subgroup of Sn." (page 19 in the Dover edition)
Why is the last sentence true? Is every group of any order n isomorphic to a regular subgroup of Sn?

A: A permutation group is called regular if it is transitive and all stabilizers are trivial.  Left multiplication yields a regular embedding of any group into its group of permutations (so the answer to your second question is "Yes").

A: To the OP: I think some of us were confused because "regular subgroup" is not a common thing to say if you're not a permutation group theorist.
As Scott points out, any abstract group can be thought of as acting regularly and transitively on some set (e.g. the set of group elements, by translation); so the question "is H a regular subgroup of G?" is only nontrivial if you've first specified a way in which G acts on some other set X  -- i.e. if G is given to you as a permutation group, not an abstract group.
(And yes, permutation group theorists appear to have many papers on "regular normal subgroups...")

A: As far as I can tell, "regular subgroup" means "transitive subgroup of order n of Sn," so I'm a bit confused by your question.  Are you confused about why it's transitive?  If that's the case, you need to read the proof of Cayley's theorem more carefully.

"The Wall Street"
Sizes: Women 6 US to Women 11.5 US
Most of the top banks are run by men, which prevents women from having strong positions of power to control the flow of capital. Less than 10% of all U.S. fund managers are women. We are only 9% of leadership in private equity and only 18% of total employees. Even at hedge funds and private debt firms, we only hold 11% of leadership roles. If the vast majority of private equity funds are controlled by men, where does that leave women-owned businesses in receiving capital? How are we being given access to funds with billions of dollars in pension money? How are we benefiting from this capital that we fuel as consumers and investors? 100K Incubator joins women in finance from around the world in solidarity to see an increase in leadership and stronger investment in our businesses. We dedicate this sneaker to spreading awareness and funding more women-owned businesses. $100 of each sneaker sale will go toward funding women entrepreneurs and providing subsidized coaching services to those in need.
We honor Lilla St. John as the first African-American woman to pass the NYSE exam in 1953 to become a certified investment counselor at age 25. We honor June Middleton who was the only African-American woman stockbroker working for a NYSE firm in 1964. We honor Muriel Siebert as the first woman to ever hold a seat on the New York Stock Exchange and head one of its member firms, being the only woman of 1,365 men in 1967. And we honor Suzanne Shank, and her current trailblazing path being the largest shareholder in the first minority and woman-owned investment bank to rank in the top 10 municipal bond writers managing over $700 billion in deals. We've made strides and still have so far to go.

Black women are starting businesses faster than any other demographic in the United States, but remain the least funded accessing just .0006% of venture capital dollars. And according to the U.S. federal reserve, they are less likely than their non-minority peers to receive some or all of the credit-based financing they've requested from banks and private financial institutions. 100K Incubator is proud to be the first business funding mobile app for women, having deliberately placed a strong emphasis on outreaching, engaging, and getting Black women funded. We dedicate this sneaker to Black women entrepreneurs, and funding more of their businesses through cash grants and ongoing partnerships. $100 of each sneaker sale will go toward funding women entrepreneurs and providing subsidized coaching services to those in need.
We honor Madam CJ Walker as the first self made woman millionaire in the United States, and the Madam CJ Walker Manufacturing Company that was located at 640 North West Street in Indianapolis, Indiana. The first self made woman millionaire in the United States was a Black woman, who not only created wealth for herself, but created space for other women to build their own businesses under her company and increase the economic power of their families. Many Black women have followed in her footsteps and continue to use her story as motivation to push through the funding and scaling odds stacked against them. We honor her and every Black woman building tables not only for themselves, but that in their resilience, serve as an example for us all.

Women represent 40% of all self-employed immigrants in the United States according to the Kauffman Index. The number of self-employed women immigrants jumped from just 180,000 in 1980 to 1.3 million entrepreneurs in 2014, according to a George Mason study, and nearly 13% of all women owned firms are controlled by women who are born outside of the United States. While the growth is exciting, immigrant women not only encounter the same issues U.S. born women encounter, but they also tend to experience deeper lack of capital due to limited credit history and friends / family networks for investment. Additionally, there can be language barriers to understanding the U.S. financial system, which is already challenging enough for most new entrepreneurs. We dedicate this sneaker to immigrant women entrepreneurs, and funding more of their businesses through cash grants and ongoing partnerships. $100 of each sneaker sale will go toward funding women entrepreneurs and providing subsidized coaching services to those in need.
We honor Celia Cruz as a remarkable woman entrepreneur who broke ground in the U.S. entertainment industry after emigrating from Cuba. Her first home in Cuba was located at 47 Serrano St in Havana where she began singing as a child. Many years later, not only did Celia become a symbol of success for Black and Latinx women amid racial tensions in the 1960s, but she inspired women around the world to create their own opportunities and careers. We honor her and the millions of other women forging their own paths in new countries.
