PMG Chapter 1742: New Student
"Since it's an exam, you have to rely on strength to pass the exam, you can't take your friends in," said that person again. Terrifying energies surrounded Lin Feng.
"I'm not going to wait for ages, since we're here, we'll become students together," Lin Feng took a step forwards, marks appeared around him and golden lights appeared indistinctly under Lin Feng's feet.
Holy marks spell?, thought the three cultivators, looking at Lin Feng. His holy marks contained empty space energy, and looked terrifyingly powerful!
Bzzz! Lin Feng took a step forwards, the marks moved towards his opponents and intertwined. The men were stupefied. Those holy marks were complex, Lin Feng was casting a deployment spell!
"Go!" said Lin Feng, jumping forwards. A tree appeared and leaves flew in every direction. Golden lights invaded the atmosphere, while the three cultivators frowned. Lin Feng was strong! Those three people were already stuck in an empty space.
"Block!" One of them shouted furiously and released energies which moved towards Huang Fu Long on Lin Feng's left. He bombarded the atmosphere and a terrifying and gigantic golden cauldron descended from the sky. Huang Fu Long could feel the pressure from it!
Cauldrons were heavy, swords were sharp, that cauldron was truly mighty!
No wonder that cultivator is a student of Champion University!, thought Huang Fu Long. Dragon chants started spreading in the air, and waves of Qi flowed out. At the same time, Lin Feng jumped forwards, a million golden lights appeared and surrounded him,containing destructive death Kalpa strength.
How fast. I have to dodge!, thought that strong cultivator, scared to receive the attack.
Lin Feng rose up in the air as the cauldron bombarded the atmosphere, and at the same time, Huang Fu Long released his dragon Qi. But in the end he was pushed away and groaned with pain. His face was deathly pale.
How strong!, thought Lin Feng with a shiver. Surprisingly, the attack had made his muscles shake. However, he didn't stop moving, and continued attacking. Tantai was also getting attacked!
Golden lights surrounded Lin Feng, it was as if the atmosphere was going to explode. Lin Feng disappeared, and then reappeared in front of the cauldron summoner. He released Kalpa strength which looked like a snake. His attack was almost as powerful as the cauldron, but Lin Feng wasn't strong enough yet.
That person turned around and shouted furiously at him.
"Die!" shouted Lin Feng furiously, releasing cursing strength and destroying his enemy's willpower. His Kalpa energy was too oppressive, and his opponent was forced away.
Tantai was fighting against the other one. That battle was difficult, too.
The atmosphere was shaking. The three people were still fighting. Lin Feng had incredible attacks, and he was moving incredibly fast, too.
"With your strength, your already passed the exam. Concerning him, he's not bad, but he's not done." said one of the examiners to Lin Feng and Tantai. In the end he looked at Huang Fu Long. "That guy, with his current strength, he can't join us.
"It's important to travel. Practicing within Champion University is the best, though, and I want my friends to benefit from that opportunity too," insisted Lin Feng. "Please just move, you can't stop me." Lin Feng started releasing many cosmic energies in a dazzling manner. The three cultivators were stunned, Lin Feng controlled seven sorts of cosmic energies!
"If you can destroy my attack, then you can go!" said the strong cultivator who had the cauldron to Lin Feng.
"Alright!" agreed Lin Feng. "I will destroy your cauldron!"
"We'll see!" That cultivator condensed his strength, the ancient cauldron appeared in his hand and energies rose to the skies.
"This technique is the Great Celestial Nine Cauldrons Skill. If you manage to learn it at a high level, you can absorb the strength of the earth and the sky and turn it into a terrifying Qi which will turn into nine cauldrons. It's a special spell from Champion University!"that cultivator told Lin Feng. Lin Feng looked at him respectfully. Champion University transmitted skills to their students, amazing!
"I won't use external strength, I'll use strength which belongs to me," said Lin Feng, releasing Deva-Mara Kalpa strength as demon, death and empty space cosmic energies.
"Go down!" shouted that cultivator mightily. The cauldron descended from the sky at full speed.
Lin Feng bombarded the atmosphere and moved like the wind. He collided with the cauldron, the impact hanging in the air. He could sense the energies of the cauldron, a medium-level emperor could destroy it!
"Rule!" Lin Feng shouted furiously and the cauldron was suddenly surrounded by marks. Explosions spread in the air, the atmosphere twisted, and the cauldron disappeared.
The two people moved back at the same time. The cauldron user moved his arm and started laughing like a madman. "Your physical body is so powerful, I'm happy to have fought against you."
"Thank you," nodded Lin Feng. He looked at the two others, they nodded agreement.
"It seems that we can't block the three of you, Since it's that way, you can go."
"Thank you very much!" Lin Feng waved his hand. Tantai smiled, and the three friends continued their walk.
When they passed in front of the one who had the cauldron, he spoke up "My name is Qin Wu!"
"Lin Feng." Lin Feng and his friends quickly left them behind.
The others looked at Qin Wu and asked, "Qin Wu, what do you think of Lin Feng?"
"He can control deployment spells, his strength is great, his willpower is great, his spells are great, he knows several cosmic energies, his future will be incredible!" replied Qin Wu. Even Princess Yu Wen wasn't as strong as Lin Feng!
"The Celestial Godly University has a Champion. Champion University is not weak. They will have a Champion soon. Everybody thinks that King Ji Shang will become a Champion. Ji Chang's Club will also become very powerful," the other speaker put forth.
"Don't you have the feeling you were born at the wrong time?" Qin Wu smiled. "The four universities of the Holy City compete all the time, and within each university people compete with each other as well. Ji Chang can oppress a whole crowd. Great Emperors and normal emperors don't compete. Because of Ji Chang, it's as if we don't exist. But even that way, we have to remain positive and can't let other people influence us."
"You're right. We don't need to compare ourselves with Ji Chang's Club. It's just that I don't like Ji Chang's Club," that examiner said unhappily. "He's obstinate and unruly, he's insane, but the competition is so scary at university."
"It's just that Ji Chang's Club is too big and powerful. They oppress students, but the university doesn't get involved in such things. The world of cultivation is like that, people have to rely on themselves."
Lin Feng and the others continued walking forwards, and as expected, nobody prevented them from passing. They had passed the exam.
When they arrived at the end of the path, there was a door.
"It must be the exit!" Tantai strode forwards eagerly. Lin Feng smiled. This guy was in a rush! Huang Fu Long and Tantai immediately entered the door.
Lights twinkled, Lin Feng followed them, and they all ended up in a vast public place. Only two other people were there, they had probably passed the exam, too.
Princess Yu Wen and the young man with the immortal energies. Yu Wen Jing stared at Lin Feng and his friends, surprised to see them.

PhonePe 2nd most downloaded finance app in May: Report (Representational Image)
New Delhi: In a sign that people in India are fast adopting digital payments methods, a new study has found that PhonePe, a Unified Payments Interface (UPI)-based app, was the second most downloaded app in the world in the finance category in May after Google Pay. The UPI platform was developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).
PhonePe saw more than 4.7 million downloads in May, which represented a 27 per cent year-on-year growth from May 2018, according to the app download estimates from Sensor Tower's Store Intelligence platform.
"Like Google Pay Tez, the majority of the installs are from India at 99.4 per cent. PayPal, Cash App and UnionPay made up the rest of the five most installed apps in the category," Julia Chan, Mobile Insights Analyst at Sensor Tower, wrote in a blog post on Friday.
"PayPal, Cash App and UnionPay made up the rest of the five most installed apps in the category," Chan added. PhonePe has so far been downloaded over 10 crore times from Google Play. Google Pay, which uses the NPCI's BHIM UPI, has also been downloaded over 10 crore times from Google Play so far.

Telstra this week has launched eSIM support, making them the first carrier to support eSIM devices other than wearables (eg, the Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch, which only support 'number sharing' plans and not separate accounts).
While this is 'officially' only supported on Windows 10 devices with a built in eSIM (such as the 2017 Microsoft Surface Pro, or a handful of HP Spectre models), as the eSIM is just another standard (like ye olde plastic SIM), most other devices that support eSIMs can make use of this.
Current devices that support eSIMs range from Windows 10 devices (as above), through to Apple's iPhone XS, XS Max and XR, the Apple iPad Pro (2017) and Google's Pixel 3/XL.
Telstra currently offers two eSIM specific plans; the 'Telstra Mobile Data Connect' plan on prepaid (which will give you 30GB for free to kick things off, which expires 30 days from activation), and the 'Mobile Data Plan 10GB' on postpaid (offering 10GB for $10/month).
Here is how you can activate and 'provision' an eSIM device on the Telstra Mobile Data Connect prepaid plan, and then add it on an Apple iPad or iPhone.


During the post-season, I was noticing all the good baseball managers for the teams still playing and began thinking about who I thought the best ones in baseball might be today. The one at the top of my personal list was Joe Maddon on the Tampa Bay Rays. It's sort of stunning to me that today Joe Maddon is now the manager of my beloved Chicago Cubs.
And so the Joe Maddon Era officially starts. And now we sit and watch what happens next. They should be some starting pitcher-signings coming. We'll see.
Of course the manager doesn't win for the team. But it's nice to put pieces together that a team needs. We'll see what the Cubs do now. It should be an interesting "Hot Stove" off-season. Then again, it already is.
On Pardon the Interruption today on ESPN, Michael Wilbon went on a tear slamming a couple of unattributed comments from unnamed baseball executives who were critical of Maddon. Among other things, he said that the Cubs have been so polite and gracious for 106 years, and have been losing. And the teams that are criticizing the Cubs are probably those who wanted them to keep Maddon so that they could keep beating them.
Maybe the criticism is in part born of jealousy, because Maddon, again, is very good at what he does, and he is a wonderful, interesting, smart man whom nobody wouldn't construct a franchise around. It's a bottom-line game, everybody knows that, and better than most the Cubs understand what the bottom looks like. So, given the opening, they'd take their shot and undoubtedly would justify themselves as honoring the best interests of the franchise and their deserving fans.
This will pass and the Cubs, someday, will win. In a vacuum, hiring Maddon is a brilliant and even necessary move. Maddon is the rare manager who seems to add wins from both the top step and the clubhouse. He will change the culture at Wrigley Field, just as he did at The Trop. The city will fall in love with him, and he will love it back. He'll wave at long-suffering Cubs fans from the saddle of his mountain bike as he cruises the streets of the North Side, among them. They'll toast his arrival with a plastic cup of Budweiser, and he'll return their gesture with a good Pinot Noir, and they'll fight a century's history together.
It all makes sense, and if these prospects are what the evaluators – professional and amateur – say they are, then the Cubs could very well win, and win soon, and win professionally.
That has generally been the reaction. But for all the criticism of how "cold" this maybe have been by the Cubs, what I appreciate is how the team went far beyond the norm to say good things about Rick Renteria and how he deserved to stay, but when given the opportunity to hire a Joe Maddon -- who's not only such a good manager, but especially good for helping build a team that has so many young, highly-touted prospects -- you almost have to do what you can to get him. The team didn't only say nice things about Rick Rick Renteria, but also offered him a job in the organization. And they had GM Jed Hoyer fly to San Diego last week to talk the situation over and kept providing him with regular updates.
"Rick's sterling reputation should only be enhanced by his season as Cubs manager. We challenged Rick to create an environment in which our young players could develop and thrive at the big league level, and he succeeded. Working with the youngest team in the league and an imperfect roster, Rick had the club playing hard and improving throughout the season. His passion, character, optimism and work ethic showed up every single day."
So, under difficult conditions, I think the Cubs handled things as well as could be expected. And in the end, it's a business decision. They hired someone they felt was the best, and did something they felt would be best for the team -- and did so in as gracious a way as reasonable, however tough it was.
And in the end...the Chicago Cubs now have Joe Maddon as their manager. And a growing roster of hopefully up-and-coming young stars.
By the way, I still don't expect the team to compete for the post-season, even if they sign some great starting pitching. But with so many young players, they still need time to mature. I think they can be a respectable team next year, over .500, but still think they're a year, maybe even two from seriously competing for the post-season and World Series.
Hey, it's only been 106 years.
A very entertaining article from London's The Guardian, sent to me by my long-time Camp Nebagamon friend John Kander (the nephew of...) about reminiscences by composer John Kander (the uncle of...) and Judi Dench about the original London production of Cabaret. The show was the first musical that Dench had starred in, and though by her own admission not much of a singer, she subsequently starred in several others, most notably A Little Night Music.
My favorite line in the piece is the very first, with John Kander commenting, "As I see it, I was part of the last generation that was allowed to fail." To anyone who doubts the importance of this in creating art -- or doing pretty much anything -- he goes on to tell a story about flopping with the first show he and lyricist Fred Ebb wrote, Flora the Red Menace, but even during rehearsals the director Hal Prince told them that whatever happens he wanted to start talking about their next show. And so they did. And that next show turned out to be Cabaret.
Judi Dench tells a very funny about how her dressing room was situated such that she should easily hear the public as they walked past. And one afternoon after a matinee she overheard a woman tell her husband, "Oh, you told me it was all about nuns and children." To which Dench then adds, "I think she was rather disappointed."
But enough about Marti Webb, here is Judi Dench.
""We need to learn from history. If Republicans run another candidate in the mold of a Bob Dole or a John McCain or a Mitt Romney... we will end up with the same result, which is millions of people will stay home on Election Day. If we run another candidate like that, Hillary Clinton will be the next president."
O what, o whatever-so could his point be? That perhaps unless Republicans run a far-right candidate (like, hmm, gee, I don't know...possibly someone from the Deep South, as well as Frozen North, covering all the bases and available countries), they would lose. Not that this isn't fully self-serving, of course, that's to be expected from most anyone who wants to be President of North America. But it's the logic of it all that's so whiz-bang.
I mean, it's a great debating point to say that if we pick candidates like candidates who have lost, we will lose. That's pretty unimpeachable logic. It's sort of like saying, "If the American League keeps sending teams to the World Series who score fewer runs than their opponents, they will continue to lose."
On the other hand, if what he's saying is that if Republicans pick a candidate who isn't radical far-right reactionary they'll lose yet again, it's a bit tougher bit of logic to accept, since that doesn't factor in the first George Bush, let alone Richard Nixon, or honestly even George W. Bush, who (while conservative) got elected running middle-of-the-roadish "compassionate conservative." For that matter, Ronald Reagan (the former Hollywood union president governor of hippy California) was significantly more moderate than the reactionary-right of today, and probably couldn't even get nominated in the current GOP landscape.
And it doesn't factor in the most far-right conservative who's run for president in the last 50 years, Barry Goldwater -- the Republican conservative patriarch who got pummeled by Lyndon Johnson in one of the biggest landslides in U.S. history.
But still, in the end, I don't know if Ted Cruz is someone we can trust for spot-on analysis of the United States political scene. But then, if he wants to discuss his views on Canada, he might be on to something.
As you may have noticed, I like the comedy of Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie a great deal. There's a good deal of Python mixed with some Beyond the Fringe, and their own urban sensibility, erudition and absurdity. They had quite a few series on British television, not all successful, but eventually they clicked with the public, most notably their sketch comedy series, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, and also Jeeves and Wooster, based on the short stories by P.G. Wodehouse.
Here's some more from their sketch show. A bit of absurdity tossed into a normal daily setting.
In a note the other day, I mentioned the 2004 revival of Fiddler on the Roof that starred Alfred Molina. Here he is along with the company preforming at the opening of the Tony Awards that year. It's sort of a mashup between the song Tradition and the bottle-dancing during the wedding celebration of Tevye's daughter.
This website is hosted by a service called Weeby. By and large, they do a very nice job, with a few slip-ups here and there. Last week, though, I noticed something strange on the Statistics page. A lot of this is long and convoluted -- and crammed with figures -- so I won't go into details, but just give you the reasonably short version.
It starts with seeing the number of "Unique Visits" to the site plummet. I mean like "Wile E. Coyote going over the cliff" plummet. But just as oddly, the number of "Page Views" skyrocketed. As in "Fourth of July is here early" skyrocketing.
I wrote to the Support Desk, and they said they'd discovered that Unique Views had been counted incorrectly for a long time, and corrected it. Page Views were unaffected, though. In a long series of exchanges -- all polite on both sides -- I basically expressed two things. 1) An executive from Weebly should have sent a note to subscribers explaining the problem, and 2) I thought that something was still screwed up, because not only were all the statistics acting bizarrely, but the law of averages weren't remotely working out in any rational way.
No, the guy insisted to me that things were fine. And I kept replying that that may be, but...man, it just looks screwy on my end. And in a long series of emails, I kept sending him samples of stats that just didn't add up. And I mean "didn't add up" almost literally.
I told my correspondent that I simply didn't believe that all was well and resolved. And he kept telling me, just as politely, that I was the only one commenting on this supposed anomaly. I said that it might be because the issue just happened and no one else had noticed it yet. Or no one wanted to write in about it, or everyone was figuring the numbers were right because that's what it showed. Or who knows what reason?
And that's where it was left. The Weebly Support Guy saying that they believed everything was right, and the Elisberg Industries Guy saying, geez, I don't know, this just looks all screwed up to me and I simply don't believe it.
"Between yesterday and today, we've actually received reports from some other Weebly users who are reporting the exact same statistics issue. I've reached out to our developers to see if they can explain and/or fix the issue."
I wrote back to say: "I don't know if I should be happy knowing that what I've been suggesting may be valid – or sorry to know that what I've been suggesting may be valid..."
Oh, and I also politely said that I can't believe that no executive from Weebly has still yet to write a note to subscribers explaining that there's a problem, which is borderline irresponsible. My use of the world "borderline" was being very polite, too. Because there is nothing remotely borderline about it.
I still have no idea what the resolution of all this will be, but I'm glad that they're now getting other reports, because it means they'll look into it and hopefully get things resolved.
For reasons inexplicable to the founders of Sofft stain repellent, Kickstarter allowed a late donation of $60 that came in after the campaign close to be accepted. So that means they actually passed the $75,000 mark. The final total is now -- $75,029!!! Well...final until Kickstarter accepts some other donation.
I mention as a public service for those keeping track in the home version of Kickstarter.
Thanks to my Apology Expert business partner Nell Minow for pointing me to this. It's from reporter Erin Gloria Ryan of Jezebel.com who has come up with a new game here called, "Self-Pitying Creep Non-Apologizing Bingo."
It came about after a Canadian radio host offered a "long, rambling, self-indulgent non-apology" to allegations of a sexual misconduct. Ms. Ryan got fed up with such things, and put together a bingo card for the public to play along the next time(s) something like this comes up. When you hear a specific non-apology excuse offered, you play a chit on its square of the bingo card.
I like two suggestions made by readers for excuses that don't appear on the guard: "I was misunderstood" and "God."
And the Kickstarter campaign is now...over. So, you can rest easy that there won't be anymore posting about the Sofft stain repellent and fabric softener co-developed by my friend Greg Van Buskirk, who used to be a project manager at Clorox.
You may recall that recently I posted an update here that they just had an article written about the product in Popular Science magazine and had passed their $25,000 goal sitting at $36,424 with only six days to go in the 40 day campaign. Well...something kicked in. Whether it was the Popular Science article, or an appearance on the CBS television affiliate in San Francisco, KPIX, or a radio appearance on the CBS affliliate KOGO, or word of mouth, or what -- or all together -- I don't know.
But they just ended with...$74,969!. In other words, they more than doubled their donations in just the last six days. Not shabby when your goal was $25,000... And coming down to the finish line, they finally cracked the 1,000 plateau for backers, ending with 1,020.
Greg, though, was whining a bit, staring at that list of 1,000 people. "Now we have to fill all those gift bottles of Sofft that each of the donors get." I believe that my response was something along the lines of "The heart bleeds."
He understood. And believe me, he was thrilled.
So, for thems who were following your program for Sofft: The Musical, now you know. For all others, you may spill to your heart's delight.

MELBOURNE, Australia – Augusta University women's basketball alum Breonna O'Conner signed a professional basketball contract with Coburg Giants Basketball Association on Jan. 22 and will continue her career in Melbourne, Australia.
"This has truly been a goal of mine since I was a little girl, so I'm basically just living my dream," O'Conner said. "I have been training mentally for the change and going overseas. I'm going to miss all my family and friends, but that's why I played out of state during my college career to prepare. I'm just excited about getting back on that court."
"I'm excited to have Breonna join what is already shaping up to be a young, athletic, and exciting group of players that have been working hard to prepare for the upcoming season," said Coburg head coach David Elhage. "We are excited to have Breonna on board and we are looking forward to having her touch down on Australian soil very soon."
O'Conner's No. 32 jersey was also retired at Ville Platte High School in Ville Platte, La., on Saturday, Jan. 27. She becomes the first VPHS women's basketball player to have her jersey retired and the first to play professional basketball.
A junior-transfer to the Jaguars in 2015 from Indian River State College, O'Conner played two seasons in Augusta and was named Peach Belt All-Conference twice. As a senior in 2016-17, she ranked second in the league with 180 made field goals and 73 steals. Her 16.8 points per game were the fourth most in the Peach Belt and she led AU in scoring, free throws, and steals. She ended the season with 4.2 rebounds per game, 2.0 assists per game, and 2.9 steals per game. After helping the Jags reach the NCAA Southeast Region Championship in 2016, O'Conner was named to the NCAA Southeast Region All-Tournament team.

WOMEN IN NDA – A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
The new order regarding women in NDA that was issues by the supreme court and how to apply for this exam as a female cadet
Kalpna Brijwal November 10, 2021
For centuries our society has been patriarchal. Here women are considered WEAKER! then men. Why is it so? Why this mindset? Slowly but steadily our country is taking steps to break the gender stereotypes and giving women equal opportunities as men. We are definitely not there yet and still have a long way to go, but this is a stepping stone in the right direction.
On August 18, the court issued an order allowing females to give the NDA exam which was to be held on September 5. The supreme court stated that the criteria of admission in the forces were based on "GENDER DISCRIMINATION". Following this, The Union Public Service Commission(UPSC) issued a notification for the online application form for NDA( NATIONAL DEFENCE ACADEMY) and NAE( NAVAL ACADEMY EXAMINATION) for women candidates only. From May 2022, female cadets can sit for the NDA examination.
Women now allowed to sit in the NDA exam
A petition was filed stating how women with proper requirements are being denied the opportunity to sit in the NDA exams solely based on their gender. The petition also pointed out the minority of women in the armed forces. the petition stated-"The respondents' act of categorically excluding eligible and willing female candidates from appearing for the National Defence Academy and Naval Academy Examinations solely on the basis of sex over the years is a violation of the fundamental right to equality before the law and equal protection under the law.
When it comes to women serving in the armed forces, there is a gender stereotype and a mindset problem that has stopped this decision from being taken for so long. Even now people are questioning whether women are physically capable or not. Women will go through the same rigorous training as their male counterparts and will serve the nation with dignity. There is no such thing as a better and more capable gender. It is high time we start treating women and men equally and this policy is a step towards it.
NDA being a male-dominated academy will come with its own challenges and it will definitely not be easy for women, but every new step comes with its own difficulties and that is how changes happen.
An unmarried female
females who have completed their 10+2

Work to be done to help at three accident blackspots in Norwich
Richard Wood
© ARCHANT NORFOLK 2009
Work will be done to improve three Norwich accident blackspots as part of a £215,000 investment in the city's roads.
Junctions at Ipswich Road, Dereham Road and Drayton Road are all set to benefit if proposals to the Norwich Highways Agency Committee are followed.
The recommendations for 2012/13 would see £70,000 worth of work done to help at the three areas which all have an accident rate above the national average.
The first proposal is for a larger waiting area and wider footpath to be created for pedestrians at Ipswich Road and Ipswich Grove, near Newmarket Road.
At the Dereham Road and Nelson Street junction it is suggested that more should be done to warn cyclists and drivers of each other, and at the Boundary Road and Drayton Road junction there would be planted screens on left-turning slip roads to focus drivers on the car in front rather than gaps in traffic.
Further proposals include improvements as part of the Norwich Area Transport Implementation Plan. These include work on the bus shelters along the Newmarket Road and Dereham Road Bus Rapid Transit routes, an improved cycle network design, and to continue a proposal to help reduce congestion at Koblenz Avenue.
However, an idea to bring a signalled pedestrian crossing across Albion Way is beyond the current budget.
A further £25,000 is being spent on bus stop infrastructure and £20,000 on minor work, such as dropped kerbs.
In previous years the committee has had funding of between £1m and £1.5m to allocate across the city, but with Norfolk County Council cutting the allocations to transport improvement schemes, following a government grant reduction, the city received £195,000 for 2011/12 and is planning for £215,000 in 2012/13.
As a result the report states that the funding "needs to be focused on areas of greatest need; on schemes that will achieve the best value for money and social benefits".
This means that no money will be spent on new pedestrian crossings, traffic calming schemes or 20mph speed limits.
The highways agency committee is to meet at City Hall on Thursday at 10am, when it is recommended to approve the programme.
What do you think about the proposals? Write to Evening News letters at Prospect House, Rouen Road, Norwich, NR1 1RE, or email eveningnewsletters@archant.co.uk

Q: constructing a sum of squares modulo an ideal This question refers to the proof of Theorem 7.3, p. 98 of the pdf http://math.berkeley.edu/~bernd/cbms.pdf.
The statement of the theorem and its proof do not depend on what precedes them.
Let $I$ be an ideal of $S=\mathbb{R}[x_1,\cdots,x_n]$. Let $U=\left\{u,\bar{u}\right\}$ be a pair of complex points of $V(I)$. Let $g(x) \in S$ be a non-negative polynomial.
The proof states that we can construct an element $S_U(x)$ of $S$ that is a sum of squares and that is congruent to $g(x)$ modulo $\langle x-u\rangle\cap \langle x-\bar{u}\rangle$, where $\langle x-u\rangle=\langle x_1-u_1,\cdots,x_n-u_n\rangle$. How can we construct such a $S_U(x)$?

Data Analytics Infrastructure and the Essential Data Lake: A Global Study
Businesses define the successful outcome of a business analytics deployment in terms of the tangible and intangible value they derive from it. Infrastructure is a critical cog in the data analytics engine that powers NGAs and therefore successful DX initiatives. Businesses generally prefer to start with standardized infrastructure components and add custom components for their use case (refer to Figure 8). In some cases, they are compelled to build infrastructure from the ground up. However, the more customized the infrastructure, the more an operations burden on the IT organization hence the preference to keep it as standard as possible.

Black Pastor: 69 Times More Black People Die From Abortion Than Homicide
Micaiah Bilger Jun 29, 2016 | 10:02AM Washington, DC
Black pastor Walter B. Hoye II wants to get on board with the #BlackLivesMatter movement, but it troubles him how the movement ignores the leading cause of death among Black Americans – abortion.
Hoye, president of the Issues4LifeFoundation, said abortions on Black Americans outnumber the homicides of Black Americans by 69 to 1. Yet, little attention is drawn to ending the genocide of abortion in the Black community.
He uncovered some shocking data by comparing a 2013 report from the Violence Policy Center, which shows that there were 6,217 Black American homicides that year, and national abortion statistics from 2013 showing that there were 429,000 abortions on Black American women.
According to his breakdown of the numbers:
In other words, for every three Black babies born in America, two will be aborted.
The numbers get worse.
In 2013, there were an estimated 429,000 abortions in Black America.
This equates to …
35,750 abortions per month
8,250 abortions per week
1,175 abortions per day
49 abortions per hour
This amounts to 1 Black abortion every 74 seconds.
Hoye placed a lot of the blame on Planned Parenthood and its supporters.

"When you understand Planned Parenthood is subsidized by half a billion taxpayer dollars each year and wholeheartedly supported by both the Democratic Party and Black leadership in high places, you have to conclude that Black American abortions representing 69 times the number of Black American homicides are an entirely intended consequence of legalized abortion," Hoye said.
Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion group in the U.S., targets black and other minority groups for abortions. One analysis found that it has placed 79 percent of its abortion facilities within walking distance of minority neighborhoods.
Many pro-lifers point to Planned Parenthood's founder, Margaret Sanger, as the root of its racial targeting. Sanger was well known in her time for pushing a eugenic philosophy that called for the extermination of people viewed as less fit, including African Americans and the poor.
Sanger once said, "The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."
Today, that eugenic targeting continues to be carried out with our tax dollars at Planned Parenthood. As Hoye pointed out: "Why should our government spend $1,282 for every Black abortion, when that same amount of money could pay for the safe delivery or adoption of healthy children? If abortion is going to be legal, a half a billion dollars would be far better spent helping young Black women to support a child (i.e., feed, clothe, educate, house and inspire a future American president), rather than aborting one."
Other pro-lifers also have used the Black Lives Matter rallying cry to call for an end to taxpayer funding of the abortion giant and a start to providing real support for pregnant moms and their babies. However, many pro-lifers have faced criticism for drawing attention to the problem.
In February, U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore from Wisconsin verbally attacked her pro-life colleague from Wisconsin after he asked her and other African American legislators why they are not standing up for the unborn black babies who are often aborted.
Moore, who is pro-abortion, said she was "infuriated" by pro-lifers who use the phrase "Black Lives Matter" because they are "demeaning women of color" who have abortions.
Yet, even Moore could not avoid mentioning the fact that abortions are disproportionately high in the black community. For example, African American women in New York City have more abortions than lives births.
Abortions in the black community are disproportionately high compared to other racial groups. It is estimated that more than 16 million African-American babies weren't born because of abortion in the U.S.

Look But Don't Touch! Langara Students Create Gowns Made of Paper
Couture designs crafted from an unlikely material.
By Candice Lipski
Let it be known: I can barely sew a button back onto a shirt. I probably only passed my textiles class in high school because I knew the teacher growing up (nepotism at its finest, folks). And I still get my mom to hem my clothes when I visit the Okanagan. That's why Langara's Paper Couture Exhibition at Oakridge Centre is all the more impressive to me.
This is the sixth time that Oakridge will showcase gowns—24 are on display this year—that are made from paper, tape, glue, twine and other raw materials. The gowns are created by students who are enrolled in Langara's two-year Design Formation Program, and each one is inspired by pieces from designers such as Chanel, Elie Saab and Versace. Students had just four weeks to finalize and create their designs, although most spent extra hours during spring break working on their projects.
Original design by Alexander McQueen. Recreated by Emma Craig.
"The challenge was the texture," said Juliana Shih, one of the students in the program whose main interest is in graphic design. She was inspired by a Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel gown. "The human body has curves, so that's a difficult thing to work with paper because it doesn't turn smoothly like fabric does."
And working with paper comes with other challenges. She had to re-do the bottom of the dress due to water damage, and some of the dress' pleating disappeared with transportation. Altogether, Shih thinks she spent around 50 to 60 hours putting the dress together.
Another student, Cassidy Gee, struggled to decide which dress to re-create. After considering her own Canadian-Chinese heritage, she ended up mimicking a 2015 Zhang Zhifeng for Ne Tiger dress, which she felt reflected both her cultures. And although she plans to steer clear of fashion in her career and focus on landscape architecture, she really enjoyed the process of making the paper gown.
"I know I can do this now, and I learned so much about myself. So seeing it done is just kind of a symbol of how much I've learned within a month and a half," she said.
Original design by Versace. Recreated by Carolina Rocha.
Instructor Kevin Smith also talked about how exciting it is to see the students go through the process. It's Smith's twelfth year as an instructor in the Design Formation Program, and he says that building the dresses is a practice in problem solving, creativity, and patience: "It fosters a willingness to try new things."

"One student asked to use rhinestones to put in the centre of flowers on the dress. Someone had broken into a car in my parkade, so I scooped up all the glass from it, and that's what she used," he said.
"It just gets better and better every year, and this year just blew me away," he said. "This is their journey. It's for them."
Check out Paper Couture at Oakridge Centre until May 20. Vote for your favourite design for the chance to win $500 at oakridgecentre.com; the student with the winning design will also win a $500 bursary.

The ninth annual Hollingsworth Gospel Concert, which benefits the Robert Wallace Hollingsworth Family Law Enforcement Scholarship at Hinds Community College, will be held at 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 27 in Hogg Auditorium of Cain-Cochran Hall on the Raymond Campus.
The benefit concert was first started in 2004 to help raise funds for the Mike Hollingsworth, a Warren County Deputy Sherriff who was injured in the line of duty. The family saw such great success with the event that they decided to make it a tradition. Currently, all proceeds from the benefit go to the Hollingsworth Family Law Enforcement Scholarship, which ultimately helps a deserving Hinds student attend college.
The family's scholarship is dedicated to five Hollingsworth men, all serving in some capacity in the field of law enforcement. The student receiving the scholarship must be majoring in criminal justice.
This year's concert line-up includes the Born Again Quartet from Byram, Jack Hollingsworth from Utica, Hunter C. May from Mendenhall and MS-TN Trio.
The concert is open to the public and the cost is donation only.

Van Avermaet wins 'funny' virtual Tour of Flanders from his attic
Olympic road race champion Greg Van Avermaet said on Sunday winning the virtual edition of the Tour of Flanders, held instead of the real race due to the coronavirus
pandemic, was "funny".
Avermaet, 35, was joined by 12 other cyclists in racing the final 32km of 'De Ronde', one of cycling's five one-day 'monuments', which was broadcast online after being postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Avermaet's daughter was seen on screen with her father in their attic room as Team CCC's Belgian finished 20 seconds ahead of compatriot Oliver Naesen and Ireland's Nicolas Roche.
"It was a funny feeling, you suffered without having the feeling of being in the races," Avermaet, who was born in the region, said.
"My girl, who couldn't understand why her dad was busy racing at home, was very happy for me," he added.
Australian Michael Matthews failed to finish while seventh-placed Tim Wellens raced from his balcony in Monaco.
"The effect of the wind was also replicated, the effort was much more difficult for the rider in front than those behind," Lotto Soudal's Wellens said after racing from his home on the Mediterranean coast.
"I had without doubt a better view than Olivier Naesen who was pedalling in his basement in Belgium," Wellens added.
Earlier in the day race organisers said they could re-schedule the race itself for later in the cycling calendar.
"The goal is to still organise 'De Ronde' later this year. Everyone has agreed on that. But for now, it's just hypothetical discussions because we don't know when the crisis will end," organiser Tomas Van Den Spiegel told Flemish television channel VRT.
Virtual champion Van Avermaet said he hoped it would take place which would give him a shot at going one better than his two second-placed finishes in 2014 and 2017.
"I hope the real Tour of Flanders can take place in the autumn and I can really win it," he said.
The race was viewed more than 21,000 on YouTube and it was also shown on Belgian TV.
This year's week-long Tour of Switzerland, originally set for early June, has discussed the idea of holding an online version of its race also.AFP

US Quidditch
US Quidditch, established in 2010, is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and the national governing body for the sport of quidditch. US Quidditch advances the sport by organizing events and programs that build community and empower all genders to compete together.
Quidditch is a mixed-gender, full-contact sport with a unique mix of elements from rugby, basketball, and dodgeball. A quidditch team is made up of seven athletes who play with brooms between their legs at all times. While the game can appear chaotic to the casual observer, quidditch is an exciting sport to watch and is even more fun to play.
Three chasers play with a ball called the quaffle and score goals worth 10 points each by shooting or dunking the ball through any one of three hoops at the other end of the pitch. They advance the quaffle down the field by running with it, passing it to teammates, or kicking it. Each team has a keeper who defends the goal hoops. Two beaters use bludgers to disrupt the flow of the game by "knocking out" other players. Any player hit by a bludger is out of play until they touch their own hoops. Each team also has a seeker who tries to catch the snitch. The snitch is a ball attached to the waistband of the snitch runner, a neutral athlete in a yellow uniform who uses any means to avoid capture. The snitch is worth 30 points and its capture ends the game. If the score is tied after the snitch catch, the game proceeds into overtime.

Q: Who's d survivor among 'N' ppl standing in a circle in an order 1 to N. 1 has a pistol,kills the adj(2) and passes to the next(3) and so on So, this is how I tried to solve it! It worked till Count=999. But after that it returns a RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object.
How can I solve it when N=1000000 (1Million)?
PS: While I was posting this question it shows the same error when count=980 or something,It's strange! I checked it before and it worked!
    Count=input('Enter the number of people in the circle \n')
    Person=[]
    for i in range(1,int(Count)+1):
    Person.append(i)
    def alivePawn(temp,ref):
        preTemp=temp[:]
        del temp[1]
        newRef=list(set(ref)-set(list(set(preTemp)-set(temp))))
        newTemp=temp[1:]+list(set(newRef)-set(temp))+temp[:1]
        if len(newTemp)==2 and len(newRef)==2:
            print(newTemp[0])
        else:
            alivePawn(newTemp,newRef)
    alivePawn(Person,Person)

A: Best code for this problem,returns the answer for N=1 Million in 2 milliseconds:
count=int(input("enter the number of people in the circle \n"))

Much like High Blood Pressure, Periodontal (Gum) Disease is a "silent" disease. Most people do not know they have gum disease until their teeth become loose and fall out. Gum disease is a very serious disease of the mouth and it is the #1 reason adults lose their teeth.
Recent research has shown a direct correlation between periodontal disease and systemic health. Links have been shown with gum disease and an increase risk of stroke, heart attack, diabetic complications, and serious problems with pregnancy.
Gum Disease is a problem for your jaw bone as well as your teeth. As the gum tissue pulls away from the tooth a pocket is created for bacteria to enter. These bacteria can cause bad breath but more importantly it can eat away at the bone of your jaw and tooth causing the tooth to become loose. This can lead to tooth loss and infection.
To treat the Bacterial Infection and Gum Disease, maintaining good oral health is key. Regular visits to your dentist for cleanings, x-rays and checkups are vital to keeping a healthy mouth. You cannot do this alone. It takes a team effort.
Periodontal treatment can be used for the early and moderate stages of periodontal disease. Sometimes referred to as a "Deep Cleaning" this treatment involves removing the plaque and calculus (tartar) that has formed under the gum - In the area known as the gingival sulcus, or pocket, and smoothing the root surfaces of the teeth.
Local anesthesia is typically used to assure comfort during treatment. The area is then treated with medication such as antibiotics or antibacterial agents.
The goal of Periodontal Treatment is to bring the gums back to good health by shrinking or eliminating the pockets around the teeth that are the site of infection. We recommend good brushing and flossing at home as well as follow up visits every 3 months to help the gum tissue and the bacterial infection heal.
Periodontal Disease is a chronic condition and without continued treatment the infection and disease will recur. Each time it does, more bone is lost and the potential loss of teeth is higher.
We want to work with you as a team to heal your gums and preserve the bone of your teeth and jaw. We look forward to seeing you every 3 months for Periodontal Maintenance cleanings. We can discuss your progress at each visit and our hygienist can provide you with feed-back about the extent and depth of the pockets around your teeth. We will work together to tackle this chronic condition.

How to Hang a Christmas Wreath on a Mirror
By Tracie Henkel| April 10, 2019

A mirror above the fireplace is an ideal place to hang a wreath.
A fresh evergreen wreath isn't only for the front door of your home. Consider hanging a wreath on top of a large mirror either in your foyer or over a fireplace mantel for an extra touch of Christmas greenery. However, don't feel limited to traditional evergreens—it's possible that other materials might mix better with your home decor. For example, consider a wreath of dried magnolia leaves, pine cones, vintage glass ornaments, feathers, sea shells, felted wool, or fresh flowers. Whatever material you choose, the wreath should fit inside the frame of your mirror.
A wreath could be hung by attaching screws or thumbtacks to the top frame of the mirror itself, but this would permanently damage the frame. Our method of suspending the wreath supports it with a clear monofilament line that runs over the top of the frame to the mirror's hanging wire on the back side of the mirror. It is strong enough to hold the weight of a traditional 25-inch evergreen wreath that weighs eight pounds.

Christmas wreaths are made from a wide variety of materials, so you can choose one that reflects the decor of your home.
Stainless steel hanging wire
Clear monofilament line (rated for 10 pounds or more)
Two-inch wide ribbon (optional)
Step 1 Prepare the Mirror and Wreath
If your mirror is already hanging on the wall, use a step ladder, if necessary, to remove it. Take note of the mounting hardware on the back. Typically there will be either two D-ring hangers or two screw eyes with a length of stainless steel hanging wire attached. If the mirror does not have hanging wire, cut a piece of wire that will span the width of the mirror and attach the ends to the mirror's D-rings. Lay the mirror on a table or countertop, face up. Dust the frame and wash the mirror.

Many mirrors will have a pair of D-rings on the back to which you can attach the hanging wire for the mirror.
The mirror hanging wire will run between the two D-rings on the back of the mirror.
Inspect the back of your wreath, looking for sharp edges that might scratch the front of the mirror. For example, evergreen wreaths are constructed with floral wire and a metal wire frame. Wrap any sharp edges with florist tape. Also, note whether the wreath has a hanger on the back or loop on the top.
Step 2 Attach the Wreath With Monofilament Line
While the mirror is still lying flat on a work surface, lay the wreath on it, positioning it between the sides and just below the top of the mirror frame. The hanger or loop on the wreath should be pointed toward the top of the mirror.
With the wreath still in position, slide the top of the mirror off the work surface so that you have access to the hanging wire. (If the mirror isn't stable in this position, ask someone to hold it steady.)
Now, cut a six-foot length of monofilament line and fold it in half. Guide the folded end of the line through the wreath's frame loop or hanger, then up over the top of the mirror frame, and finally under the mirror's hanging wire behind the mirror.
Step 3 Attach the Monofilament Line Around the Mirror Hanger
Grip the free ends of the monofilament line together behind the back of the mirror and tie them together, enclosing the hanging wire within the monofilament loop. The monofilament line will now be supported by the mirror's hanging wire once the mirror is placed back on the wall.
Hang the mirror back on the wall to test the wreath's position. Because monofilament line has some stretch, a heavy wreath might hang lower than you expect. If so, cut off the line, shorten it, and restring it through the wreath and mirror hanging wire. Make sure the knotted ends of the line are positioned behind the mirror, then trim the ends if necessary.
Step 4 Attach a Decorative Ribbon
Hold the mirror upright to make sure the monofilament line is holding the wreath where you'd like it positioned. The clear line should be invisible from a distance. If you'd like to add a decorative ribbon, follow the same process of stringing a single strand of ribbon through the wreath hanger up over the top of the mirror frame to the mirror's hanging wire, then tie both ends in a knot behind the mirror.
With wreath attached to the front of the mirror, you can mount a picture hanger from which to hang the mirror itself.
Step 5 Hang the Mirror on the Wall
Once the wreath is secure, hang the mirror on the wall, using steel picture hangers with the appropriate weight rating. Due to the extra bulk of the wreath, it might be easier for two people to complete the task together. Clean any fingerprints or smudges from the mirror and then step back to ensure it's hanging straight.
Now it's time to enjoy how the wreath and mirror draw together your Christmas lights and decor.

Many people don't really worry about their driving records. They figure if they've just gotten a few minor traffic tickets, it's not a big deal. But the fact is, every mark on your record counts, and all those little points can add up really fast if you're not paying attention. There's an entire system in place that helps insurance companies decide what they're going to charge you.
Not all states employ a point system for their residents' driving records, but it's important to understand if you live in a state that does. When you commit a traffic violation, this gets documented on your record, along with a corresponding amount of points. The worse the violation is, the higher the points assigned to your record. You start out with zero points when you first get your drivers license, but as you get traffic tickets, this perfect zero vanishes. You should also keep in mind that if you reach a certain number of points within a certain amount of time, you could have your drivers license suspended, or even revoked. Therefore, it's wise to prevent these violations from occurring.
Again, even if your state does not use a point system, your traffic citations and accidents are recorded, so you will still be affected when it comes to your insurance premium.
So Where Does the Insurance Company Come In?
Insurance companies look at your driving record when they are evaluating you as a potential customer. They use the number of violations on your record as an indicator of how safe a driver you are, and to calculate what you should therefore pay as your auto insurance rate. The cleaner your record, the lower your insurance premium. Your insurance rate is not static, however. Even if you start out at a low rate, if you accumulate tickets, your premium can begin to climb rapidly. This is a penalty for poor driving, since you are not being as safe as you could be.
Take an approved defensive driving course: if allowed by your court, taking a defensive driving course can get points reduced on your driving record, or even get a traffic ticket dismissed entirely.
Wait patiently: in many states, points will be deducted from your record after a certain period of time (usually a number of years).
Hire a lawyer if you feel you were wrongly accused of a violation. This way, you can keep from having points placed on your record.
Don't neglect your driving record; this is a document that should be reviewed routinely, since it has such a big impact on your life. The DMV is not perfect - errors can be made, so you should check your driving record regularly, particularly if you've just had a ticket dismissed. See to it that you don't have more points than you should have, as this will affect your insurance premium. And if you're searching for a new provider, you'll want to ensure that your driving record is at its best.

In business and finance, overhead refers to all ongoing business expenses. We also call it the 'operating expense.' It is an expense that the owner must pay even when the business does not earn any revenue.
We use the term both in its plural and singular forms, i.e., overhead or overheads. The plural form is more common in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries. The singular form is popular in North America.
We use the term for budgeting purposes. We also use it to find out how much a company should charge for its products. If it does not charge the right amount, it cannot make a profit.
Expenses that form part of the overhead include rent, utilities, travel expenditures, repairs, legal fees, insurance, and advertising fees. We also include telephone bills, electricity, labor burden, and direct materials.
Business owners must cover overhead expenses regardless of how much or little money they are making.
The term refers to all these expenses that keep a business operating.
Manufacturing overhead represents the costs that support manufacturing. However, they are not linked to specific products or services.
These expenses can either be fixed or variable. In other words, some remain the same on a consistent basis, while others fluctuate.
These costs remain the same, regardless of the number of units the company produces or sells.
Fixed overhead costs include rental costs, retail sales floor space, etc.
Variable costs are those that do change. In other words, when production rises they go up, and when production falls they subsequently decline too.
Examples include manufacturing machinery electricity, equipment utilities, materials handling wages, and production supplies.
If you want to set up a company with low overhead costs, a home business is a good option. Startups have a considerably greater chance of success if the entrepreneur begins operating from home.
Bill Gates and Steve Jobs both began with home businesses. In fact, during their first few years, they worked in their garage.
