Q: SQL Select two values I am trying to optimize my code where I have to run two queries, 1 to count how many houses there are with the same address at the input and 2 count how many values there are in the table total.
Here are my queries.
Count address's from input:
SELECT Count(addr) FROM housedata WHERE addr = %s

Count total amount of rows:
SELECT Count(ID) FROM housedata

Is there any way of merging these into the same query?
Thanks peeps!

A: Something like this
SELECT sum(case when addr =%s then 1 else 0 end) , count(Id) FROM housedata

A: Use a subquery:
SELECT
    Count(addr) AS ADDR_COUNT,
    (SELECT Count(ID) FROM housedata) AS TOTAL_COUNT
FROM housedata
WHERE addr = %s

A: Something like this ?
WITH A AS (
SELECT Count(addr) AS CNT_ADR FROM housedata WHERE addr = '%s'),
B AS (
SELECT Count(ID) AS CNT_ID FROM housedata)
SELECT A.CNT_ADR, B.CNT_ID
FROM A, B;

Best Theories re the TTs?
QLost Ten Tribes
Answers to Questions by Yair Davidiy
What are the best theories for what happened to the ten lost tribes?
The ONLY theory that is consistent with Biblical, Historical, and other evidence is the one that finds the Lost Ten Tribes among Western Nations.
According to the Bible Ten out of the Twelve Tribes of Israel split away from the Kingdom of Israel and Judah when Solomon died (I-Kings 12:19). They formed their own kingdom of "Israel" (I-Kings 12:20) and were exiled by the Assyrians (2-Kings 17:18). Those who were not exiled became the Jewish people otherwise referred to as Judah. The Ten Tribes and Judah are destined to re-unite (Jeremiah 16:10-15, Hosea1:11), but until then they each have roles of their own to fulfill (Ezekiel 37, Isaiah 11:13, Jeremiah 3:18). The majority of the Ten Tribes were destined to be situated at the continental extremities of the earth such as North America, the British Isles (Isaiah 41:1-9), Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa (Deuteronomy 33:13, Isaiah 24:16, 26:15, 41:8-9, 49:1-26). They were to be very numerous, (Gen. 16:10, 22:17, Hosea 1:10), to be the richest (Genesis 27:28, 49:25, Deuteronomy 33:13-16, Hosea 2:8), and most powerful nations on earth (Numbers 24:8-7, Micah 5:7-9). They were to control the major international strategic bases and thoroughfares of the world (Genesis 22:16-17, 24:60).
This is confirmed by Secular Studies showing that the Ten Tribes moved westward along the following routes:
1. Movement by Sea
Most of the Israelites were exiled to the north. A portion however were transported overseas in Phoenician and Philistine ships working for the Assyrians (Amos 1:6-10).
Hebrews transported by ship were taken to Spain, Gaul, and Britain. Those taken to Spain later moved northward into Gaul or crossed over to Britain and Ireland.
2. Movement by Land Northward
Ca.740-720 BCE: The Assyrians moved masses of Northern Israelites (and other Syrians and Phoenicians) to Northern Mesopotamia and to Hara in eastern Iran. They became identified with the Cimmerians, Scyths, and Goths.
These peoples mainly moved to the west including the Isles of Britain and Ireland.
A portion however remained in the east becoming the Khazars a portion of whom converted to Judaism.
All of these points together with numerous others show that descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes can only be found amongst Western nations of the Occidental World, especially among the English-speaking ones.
The correctness of the interpretation of the relevant verses is confirmed by traditional Jewish sources and by the findings of up-to-date, Biblical, historical and scientific research.

Successfully Managing Change and Uncertainty During COVID
by Daniel Bull | Oct 20, 2020 | Managing Change
COVID has rocked the ground from under us and we're navigating new terrain. When our landscape shifts daily, lessons learned from a life of extreme adventure can help.
6 lessons learned from a life of extreme adventure
From ever-shifting glaciers to dense jungle and remote deserts, the world's landscapes have always been in flux. But COVID has rocked the ground in ways we weren't prepared for. Everything is changing and we're navigating new terrain. So when the landscape of our lives is shifting so dramatically and we're unsure what tomorrow will bring, how do we successfully manage this change and uncertainty? Some hard-earned lessons learned from my life of extreme adventure might help.
"When the landscape of your life is shifting dramatically, uncertainty is the only certainty. But with change there's opportunity – it's up to you to grasp it."
Accept whatever emotions arise
When you're in an unexpected situation, simply taking stock of what's happening and how you're feeling is a great starting point. With COVID most of us are on an emotional rollercoaster, experiencing huge feelings like anxiety, anger, frustration, and grief. Whatever you're feeling in the face of the unknown, it's important to give yourself the space to process it properly. And stock up on self-compassion – because however you're feeling is natural in an uncertain world.
Maintain a clear vision and adapt the route
We're all having to recalibrate in the face of Coronavirus. Life as we know it has changed. But that doesn't mean we can't stay focused on our goals. I was challenged by unforeseen circumstances striving to reach the summit of the world's highest volcano, Ojos del Salado in the South American Andes. It was the last big hurdle to achieving a long-held goal.
It all happened on our final summit push. I was separated from my local guide just after leaving high camp at midnight. Thinking he may have moved ahead of me in the pitch black of night, I kept climbing, only to realise once the sun rose that I'd deviated from the trail. I was lost and alone, suffering self-doubt and fearing death from sheer exhaustion, and I knew I was out of reach of helicopter rescue. I had to adapt quickly and chart a new route to the summit or else turn back, giving up on my dream of becoming the youngest person to climb the Seven Summits and Seven Volcanic Summits (by this point a decade long quest). It turned out to be a longer, more precarious route to the top, but by reminding myself of my ultimate goal every strenuous step of the way, I eventually made it. My guide was there to greet me at the bottom. In our personal and professional lives we're all having to be patient, resilient and flexible, calling on our deepest resources to adjust to our new normal. We must all map a new way forward. Adaptability is now a critical skill – more on that in a later blog post.
Whether you're facing an objective hazard like an avalanche, the thin air of high-altitude or a highly contagious virus particle, it helps to understand your role in the situation and focus on what you can control. You can do small things to make the process of change and change management as well as the experience of uncertainty easier – things to support yourself and others, like washing hands, wearing a mask and maintaining a social distance. In the case of extreme adventure, meticulous planning and preparation, general fitness and destination research are key. Accept that you may not have control over COVID, but you can control your preparation and approach. This reduces the feeling of helplessness and gives you purpose.
Where there is uncertainty there is opportunity
It might be tough, but it's important to know that if you change the way you look at it, uncertainty can become an opportunity to learn and grow rather than a threat. (You can read about reframing in this post on resilience). Change is here, and we're at a crossroads. One way is fear and anxiety, the other is opportunity. Business owners are reshaping their companies' futures, staff are focusing on creating healthy work/life balance, all our priorities are shifting towards more sustainable ways to work and live. If we embrace the unexpected creatively by connecting the dots, we can innovate – and emerge stronger. As a change management speaker I know the value of approaching change with innovation and optimism.
Map a new way forward when walking on thin ice
There are still so many unknowns with COVID. This creates a deep sense of uncertainty that makes us feel untethered and exposed (just like being perched on a ledge on a perilous rock face). Nothing could have prepared us for the situation we find ourselves in, but having been confronted by my own mortality, tackling some of the harshest environments on the planet and battling insurmountable odds, I've learned that when change and uncertainty abounds, you can't control it – uncertainty is the only certainty – but you can control how you take the next step.
Despite physical distancing, it's never been more important to stay connected. COVID is a global challenge, and we're collectively striving toward a common goal. Communication and collaboration with our support team helps relieve the emotional burden and makes us feel more equipped and secure. On that final summit push to the top of the highest volcano on Earth, I contacted my dad by satellite phone. A world away, he was able to give me the confidence to keep going, texting me route details he'd pulled from satellite imagery along with weather forecasts. Having the courage to reach out for a hand when you need it is possibly the most important lesson I've learnt. Look for others who can fill your knowledge gap and whose insights open your mind to new possibilities.
We're all learning to manage in turbulent times. If you're keen to find out how I can help motivate and inspire you and your people with lessons learned from real-life experiences of successfully managing change and uncertainty, building resilience, persevering through adversity, and strengthening mindset I've got lots to share. Stay tuned!
"When change and uncertainty abounds, you can't control it – but you can control how you take the next step."

Step by step instructions will show you how to remove old zipper and put in a new one. It will not be a factory finish but it will be undetectable to most.
I sew every day and I put off making this repair. I always think it will be worse that it actually is. I am very picky on the coats I choose to repair. It has to be in very good condition for me to work on it. The time it takes is just too long for something that has seen better days. This hand-me-down was in excellent condition and I am guessing it made it's way to me because I could fix it. I have zippers hanging around the house so it was worth a go. As you will see I did not take the time or effort to add back in all the extra detail, I was just looking for function here. this does not look like a factory finish but it is clean and looks goo from the outside. I'm sure there are lots of ways to tackle this problem but I wanted to give an idea of what a fix like this would look like. Different types of coats may need alternative sewing methods, but the last few I have done were very similar to this. I hope it helps to give confidence to try.
If you need to purchase a zipper measure the length of the old one before you buy. If you can't find an exact fit go with one that is too long. It is always possible to tuck the extra in at the top. You need it to be a Separating zipper .
Start by pulling out the old zipper.
Don't be surprised when it is sewn up to 4 times!
I started with the liner. It is more forgiving part to get started.
As you can see it may be challenging to get all the stitches out without damaging the pieces. Try to be more careful than I was.
At this stage I am disassembling the face. I will not be putting this lap detail back on. I am working on a home machine and I don't want to push past it's limits. My zipper will be more visible that it was previously. It's shouldn't affect the function.
This is the zipper I chose to use. It is just slightly shorter than the old one. I am not bringing it all the way up to the hood section.
I pinned the right side of the zipper to the right side of just the face of the coat. I am considering the batting to be part of the face. this may not be the case for other coats. try to take your lead from the garment.
At the top you will notice that the top of the zipper is folded over. this will give it a more finished appearance.
I used a zipper foot.It's best to stay in the center of the zipper tape (the white part).
This is just a reminder not to catch the lining in this part.
Next I pinned the lining in place . The pins are placed so I can remove them easily from the other side.
This is a little closer view.
I am doing my best to stitch over the old seam that I pulled out. The indent it very viable so I want to get it as close to the old stitches as possible.
To match up the zipper placement I leave it zipped and pin the top and bottom to be even with the other sides.
I then unzipped and continued pinning.
I pinned the lining in the same as before. When top stitching it will be from the opposite direction.
This is what it looked like done.
The liner gaped a bit more than I had hoped.
I pinned it back in place and decided the most efficient way to deal with it is a quick hand stitch.
I just want to tack the lining so it lays flat against the zipper.
this is what it looked like before hand-sewing.
And After. Now it is not as noticeable.
All done and zipped, ready for my little guy this year and the cousins next year.


Educate has uploaded CA Project Portfolio Manager: How to gather logs from the CA PPM UI?
Please be aware to only use this feature for gathering files of a reasonable size (I would say as a rule of thumb, less than 50MB in size) when using the Download button. This feature/page is accessible to users with Administration access only, but downloading files that are too big can cause performance issues for other users or even cause an out of memory error and force the app server to stop.
Many of the log files 'roll over' to keep the sizes down anyway, but some do not, so care needs to be taken. E.g. it's possible on a busy day for app-access logs to grow large, or with some other custom logging enabled such as the capturing of Verbose GC (garbage collection) logs, they could grow to hundreds of MB in size.


During the time you are conducting your analysis, it's always a great idea to take a look at tools which can help you extract and interpret data. Once more, industry analysis is incomplete should you not actually take a look at platforms themselves. There are two kinds of analysis which you should know about. The analysis is crucial to compare crypto prices to dollar costs. Fundamental analysis, on the flip side, focuses on qualitative research, as opposed to quantitative. It looks into the coin's overall mission, utility, development team and more, to determine the token's fair value. Performing fundamental analysis for cryptocurrencies, nevertheless, is radically different as there isn't any degree.
The overall essentials of crypto appears very strong at the moment. Therefore, it's important to classify the implications of the detected code difficulties. For that reason, it's necessary to classify the implications of the detected code troubles.
Considering it's an enterprise blockchain, it appears to be a fair alternative for me. APIs and software, on the flip side, provide you don't just with a simple means to collect huge data but to automatize trade. Thankfully, there's an investigation method which will help you gather data and analyze it correctly. When you have data and tools connected, it's time to design strategy in line with the market trends you uncovered.
The software used will choose the most lucrative cryptocurrency at a specific time. It functions as a backbone of the cryptocurrency project, which depends on the quality and security of the codebase. There's only software, which bugs have yet to be found, yet. There are far more tools available for your use, all which are explained on Blockchain.us. The software is now in alpha testing. The Simple Token software provides the application developers tools to control their respective tokens. The software, front-end, and User Experience has to be greatly improved as a way to increase adoption by the typical consumer.
With bad code, it may be even dangerous to utilize DLT systems. The system classified the results into hotspots based on the urgency of the problem. Automated trading methods permit the user to trade numerous accounts or various strategies at the same time. They minimize emotions throughout the trading process. They allow traders to achieve consistency by trading the plan.
With this kind of a special expertise, leveraging a technology that has already turned out to be efficient for many asset classes is the best approach to be accomplished. In the future it'll be interesting to monitor new developments of the Ethereum code and to check whether the code is going to be improved with respect to code quality. In the future it's going to be interesting to monitor new developments of the Bitcoin code and to check whether the code is going to be improved with regard to code quality. In the future it's going to be interesting to monitor new developments of the Litecoin code and to check whether the code is going to be improved concerning code quality. For young cryptocurrencies with a very low network value, the ideal strategy was supposed to concentrate on their growth. There are lots of strategies, some of which we'll present here. In terms of the long-term tactics, you may use swing and hedging trading strategies.
Crypto tokens are a breeze to trade and will probably change hands at a greater velocity than basic US currency. Code is the foundation for most blockchain technologies. Though the code appears to operate correctly, developers should review the essential segments of the code. The Python code are available here. Some libraries directly give the potential for generating a random IV when utilizing the block cipher. You shouldn't implement your own custom made crypto libraries. Moreover, you can decide to lessen your data usage buy throttling the apps' refresh pace.
Volatility The volatility of cryptocurrency markets is extremely high because of their speculative nature. To select a correct trading pair, one ought to understand what trends occurred before and what's going to occur in the not too distant future. Crypto markets aren't the very same as equities and therefore we want to find relevant measures of value. If you're actively managing a crypto asset portfolio, you need to make use of all of the potential tools which are available to you. Within the Efficient Frontier, there's a portfolio that has the maximum expected return per unit of danger. Fantastic code design is distinguished by a simple to follow and efficient structure. A great code design is distinguished through an easy to follow and efficient structure.

Chinese people in Moscow
The Chinese style Tea House is one of Moscow'stop China-related locations.
The State Museum of Oriental Art displays a collection of works of art, weapons and household items from more than a hundred Asian countries, including China.
The Glinka National Museum Consortium of Musical Culture presents anextensive collection of Chinese musical instruments.
The Chinese Cultural Center offers lectures, concerts, films, documentaries, art classes, exhibitions and many more.
The Chinese Landscape Garden in Gorky Park, complete with the Tree of Friendship, gives the feel of China right in the middle of Moscow.
Moscow has several traditional Chinese medical clinics, a martial arts center, Chinese restaurants and markets.
Chinese youth
Currently, there are no accurate data on the Chinese community in Moscow. The number of Chinese people residing in Moscow is estimated to be anywhere from 30,000 to 60,000. In fact, some journalists and sociologists claim that as many as 100,000 Chinese people may be living in Russia's capital. Chinese restaurants and medical centres are prominent in Moscow, and those interested in the Chinese culture can visit the State Museum of Oriental ArtRussian: Muzey Vostoka or Музей Востока and the Chinese Cultural CentreRussian: Kitayskiy Kulturnyi tsentr or Китайский Культурный центр operating under the aegis of the People's Republic of China (PRC) Government.
The Chinese population in Moscow is far from homogeneous. Some of the communities are grouped around the Embassy of the People's Republic of ChinaRussian: posolstvo Kitayskoy Narodnoy Respubliki or посольство Китайской Народной Республики, located at 6, Druzhby StreetRussian: ulitsa Druzhby or улица Дружбы. These tend to be Chinese expats with permanent resident status in Russia living in Moscow for either educational or professional reasons. Smaller scale entrepreneurs, workers and traders, however, make up the majority of Chinese people in Moscow. The capital is an attractive place for this subset to settle, as there are local wholesale markets and warehouse, so it is a good place for business.
The presence of Chinese people in Moscow has enriched the culture of the Russian capital in many ways. First of all, the Chinese presence offers local residents a wide range of goods made in China, Chinese food and medicine. The well-known Cherkizovo marketRussian: Cherkizovskiy rynok or Черкизовский рынок used to be a kind of Chinatown until 2009, with its underground warehouses, workshops and dorms. 'CherkizonRussian: Черкизон' has now moved to the Moskva Shopping and Fair ComplexRussian: Torgovo-yarmarochnyi kompleks «Moskva» or Торгово-ярмарочный комплекс «Москва» (1, Tikhoretsky BoulevardRussian: Tikhoretskiy bulvar or Тихорецкий бульвар) and to the Sadovod MarketRussian: rynok «Sadovod» or рынок «Садовод» (14th km of the Moscow Automobile Ring RoadRussian: Moskovskaya koltsevaya avtomobilnaya doroga or Московская кольцевая автомобильная дорога, or MKADRussian: МКАД), located in Moscow's downscale southeastern suburbs, where tens of thousands of Chinese people live and work. There are dorms, barbershops, snack bars and restaurants frequented by the local Chinese community. Cinemas offer films dubbed in Chinese, and minibuses have displays in Chinese as well as in Russian.
Even if you are in a beautiful historic area or a tidy park, walking around the huge city takes up a lot of energy. For you to have a rest in the best way, on the pages of our website there is a lot of information about the best restaurants in Moscow, best bars in Moscow Russia etc).
Moscow has some exceptionally interesting locations associated with the Chinese culture, such as the Tea HouseRussian: Chaynyi dom or Чайный дом, located at 19, MyasnitskayaRussian: Мясницкая Street. Once owned by the merchant S. V. Perlov, this house was built in 1893 by the well-known architect R. I. Klein and, three years later, was decorated in the Chinese style by K. K. Gippius. In this way, the merchant Perlov gained favour with Li Hongzhang, Ambassador Extraordinare of the Empire of China, with a view to expand his Chinese tea business. The three-storey mansion was topped with a roof in the shape of a two-tiered pagoda, and the walls were decorated with dragons, snakes, Chinese lanterns and signs styled to look like hieroglyphs. The merchant spared no expense in having authentic materials delivered from China, and had residential premises adorned with Chinese porcelain and paintings. Restored in 2011, this house is now a picturesque haven, whose Oriental beauty is truly delightful.
The State Museum of Oriental ArtRussian: Muzey Vostoka or Музей Востока (12A, Nikitsky BoulevardRussian: Nikitskiy bulvar or Никитский бульвар) is a major cultural and educational centre. With a total area of 1,600 square metres, it boasts a unique collection of paintings, graphic works, sculptures, decorative and applied art objects, weapons and household items from over 100 Asian countries. One of the permanent exhibitions is devoted to China. Lacquered exhibits embellished with extraordinary bone carvings are certainly worth a look. Works by outstanding Russian artists Nicholas and Svyatoslav Roerich also have a special place in the permanent exhibition.
Located at 4, Fadeyeva StreetRussian: ulitsa Fadeeva or улица Фадеева, the Glinka National Museum Consortium of Musical CultureRussian: Tsentralnyi muzey muzykalnoy kultury or Центральный музей музыкальной культуры displays an extensive collection of Chinese musical instruments, among other exhibits. An orchestra was present at the Chinese emperor's court as early as 1st millennium BC, and one of the most popular musical instruments in it was the sheng, a mouth-blown pipe organ, which is on display in the museum. The ancient plucked string instrument called a tsin is also worth a glance.
The Pekin HotelRussian: gostinitsa «Pekin» or гостиница «Пекин» at 5, Bolshaya SadovayaRussian: Большая Садовая Street is reminiscent of Soviet-Chinese relations, its construction timed to coincide with the establishment of the Soviet-Chinese Friendship SocietyRussian: Obschestvo sovetsko-kitayskoy druzhby or Общество советско-китайской дружбы. This upscale hotel, built in 1956 in the Stalinist Empire style, has little in common with traditional Chinese architecture. The eponymous restaurant operates in the Pekin Hotel, and the conference halls are named Hong KongRussian: Гонконг, MacaoRussian: Макао and ShanghaiRussian: Шанхай.
The Chinese landscape gardenRussian: Kitayskiy landshaftnyi ugolok or Китайский ландшафтный уголок in Moscow's Gorky ParkRussian: Park imeni Gorkogo or Парк имени Горького (9, Krymsky ValRussian: Крымский вал Street) also has the flavours of Chinese culture. A delightful park to the right of the main entrance is a fine example of Chinese classical park art, featuring a Tree of FriendshipRussian: Derevo Druzhby or Дерево Дружбы. Similarly, a Russian nature park is planned to be laid out in Beijing's Chaoyang Park. Such 'Chinese places' in Moscow are created due to the collaboration of the official representatives of Russia and China.
Construction of the Khuamin Park Chinese Business CentreRussian: Kitayskiy Delovoy Tsentr «Park Huamin» or Китайский Деловой Центр «Парк Хуамин» (14, Vilgelma Pika StreetRussian: ulitsa Vilgelma Pika or улица Вильгельма Пика) in northeast Moscow is about to be completed. It is to contain a high-rise hotel, a spacious office building and a Chinese landscape garden echoing Beijing's imperial palace gardens. Mostly Russian entrepreneurs and architects are involved in the construction of the centre, but rumour has it that in reality the complex is funded and controlled by Chinese people.
The Chinese Cultural CentreRussian: Kitayskiy kulturnyi tsentr or Китайский культурный центр situated at 1/1, Pravdy StreetRussian: ulitsa Pravdy or улица Правды is essentially the Chinese mission in Moscow. The Chinese Ministry of Culture created it for Russian people interested in exploring the treasures of Chinese culture, including its language, music, literature, theatre, cinema, subtleties of the tea ceremony and even the art of Chinese cooking. Visitors to the Chinese Cultural Centre can choose from a wide variety of services: films, documentaries, concerts, exhibitions, lectures, art classes and many other exciting events. The centre is open daily.
Chinese students will provide you with a wonderful opportunity to discover China without leaving Moscow. In the spirit of immersing themselves in the Russian language and culture, they are involved in the activities of official associations and amateur clubs where they communicate with their Russian peers. Such events foster language acquisition and contribute to the study of cultural and social values of both countries. Russian and Chinese youths meet up at the Confucius Centre of the Moscow State Linguistic UniversityRussian: Tsentr Instituta Konfutsiya pri Moskovskom gosudarstvennom lingvisticheskom universitete (MGLU) or Центр Института Конфуция при Московском государственном лингвистическом университете (МГЛУ), in clubs and language schools.
The Russian-Chinese Centre for Cooperation in Education, Science, Culture, Health, Tourism and SportRussian: Russko-kitayskiy tsentr po sotrudnichestvu v oblasti obrazovaniya, nauki, kultury, zdravookhraneniya, turizma i sporta or Русско-китайский центр по сотрудничеству в области образования, науки, культуры, здравоохранения, туризма и спорта, located at 14/5, PlanernayaRussian: Планерная Street, has been around since 2003. The centre focuses on developing a working partnership between Russian and Chinese higher education institutions, language learning, tourism and medicine.
Chinese people living in Moscow usually perform all religious ceremonies at home and go back to China to participate in the biggest celebrations in their homeland. This is partly why there are no Chinese religious institutions in Moscow. A small proportion of Chinese community members who are Orthodox Christians are officially assigned to the Patriarch's Chinese MetochionRussian: Kitayskoe Patriarshie Podvorie or Китайское Патриаршье Подворье located at 14, First Golutvinsky LaneRussian: 1-y Golutvinskiy pereulok or 1-й Голутвинский переулок in Moscow. The metochion's main church, consecrated to Saint Nicholas, was built in 1692 and partially rebuilt in 1772 in the Moscow Baroque style. Restored in 1995, the church officially became a Chinese Metochion in 2011.
Chinese Buddhism is represented in Moscow by the Office of the Shaolin MonasteryRussian: Predstavitelstvo Shaolinskogo monastyrya or Представительство Шаолиньского монастыря with its traditional martial arts centre (25, MironovskayaRussian: Мироновская Street). The centre offers martial arts, yoga and Chinese painting classes. Interestingly, there is more than one martial arts school (including kung fu, wushu and others) run by Chinese coaches.
One of Moscow's best Chinese restaurants is arguably DruzhbaRussian: Дружба, located at 41, NovoslobodskayaRussian: Новослободская Street in the eponymous shopping mall established by Chinese expats. The restaurant is always full of Chinese visitors who go there for food cooked much the same way as it is in China. The menu offers a wide variety of Chinese, mainly Cantonese, dishes. Prices are reasonable, and the traditional Chinese interior is lovely. Unfortunately, the restaurant is located in the basement, which detracts a little from the atmosphere.
Kitayskaya GramotaRussian: Китайская грамота (1, SretenkaRussian: Сретенка Street) is one of the best upmarket Chinese restaurants in Moscow, specializing in Pan-Asian, mostly Chinese, cuisine and serving vegetarian food. Customers highly appreciate the world-famous Peking duck dish, variety of vegetables and large portions. Prices are high, but the atmosphere and service make up for it.
Kitayskiye NovostiRussian: Китайские новости (126/3, ProfsoyuznayaRussian: Профсоюзная Street) is a restaurant featuring a show kitchen and a menu offering an almost bewildering variety of dishes. It's a great place to hang out with friends, prices are moderate, and it's extremely popular with Chinese people. A fantastic atmosphere also prevails in Mandarin. Lapsha i UtkiRussian: Мандарин. Лапша и утки (Mandarin. Noodles and Ducks), a Chinese and Thai fusion restaurant located at 5, Bolshoy Cherkassky LaneRussian: Bolshoy Cherkasskiy pereulok or Большой Черкасский переулок. With its stylish interior and very attractive prices, it's a great place to visit in downtown Moscow.
China ClubRussian: Чайна клаб (21, Krasina StreetRussian: ulitsa Krasina or улица Красина) offers excellent service and a varied menu that goes beyond the traditional Chinese dishes. Picturesque and comfortable halls of various sizes are available for various purposes, including family events, dates and parties. Among other popular Chinese restaurants are MenzaRussian: Менза (22, RusakovskayaRussian: Русаковская Street), TanRussian: Тан (13/1, Oruzheyny LaneRussian: Oruzheynyi pereulok or Оружейный переулок) and Madame Wong (7, LesnayaRussian: Лесная Street), not to mention a plethora of other Chinese restaurants and cafés in Moscow. Asian fast food of all kinds is also available throughout Moscow. Notably, the Chinese people themselves, especially traders and workers, usually eat in secluded restaurants, which are unknown to most people in Moscow.
Chinese markets are extremely popular among Muscovites. The best-known among them, Kitayskiye ProduktyRussian: Китайские продукты, is located at 12/1 Mira AvenueRussian: prospekt Mira or проспект Мира. It offers buyers a wide range of food products from China and other Asian countries, including special delicacies, vegetables, sauces and seasonings for Chinese dishes, as well as 30 varieties of tea and even feng shui tableware.
Tayskiye ProduktyRussian: Тайские продукты (3, Dmitriya Ulyanova StreetRussian: ulitsa Dmitriya Ulyanova or улица Дмитрия Ульянова) is another market selling Chinese products, as well as products originating from other countries. You can learn new recipes and the required ingredients, buy tea, vegetarian food, dishware and even beauty products.
ChaoChayRussian: ЧаоЧай (17/28 Bakuninskaya Russian: БакунинскаяStreet) is a great place for Chinese tea lovers. Prices are reasonable at this teashop, and if you are not satisfied with the quality of your purchase, you can return it for a 120% refund.
MaLianDao (6/4, Nizhny Susalny LaneRussian: Nizhniy Susalnyi pereulok or Нижний Сусальный переулок) is yet another nice place where you can find even the rarest leaf tea varieties and high-quality tableware to conduct a real tea ceremony. You can find most Chinese products and tea in most wholesale markets in Moscow.
Moscow's first Chinese bookstore Shans BokuRussian: Шанс Боку (6/2, ArbatRussian: Арбат Street) was opened in 2017. You can pay a visit to learn more about China's literary heritage and modern writers.
Medicines and doctors constitute another key aspect of Chinese culture. This practice is quite well represented in Moscow. For instance, the Zhyolty ImperatorRussian: Жёлтый император (Yellow Emperor) Clinic offers its patients a variety of medical services, such as acupuncture, leech therapy, moxibustion, Chinese and shiatsu massage, traditional medical procedures to treat many diseases, along with cosmetic treatment courses. The clinic has two locations: 4/3 Ruzheyny LaneRussian: Ruzheynyi pereulok or Ружейный переулок and 11/1, SpartakovskayaRussian: Спартаковская Street.
The Ling House Eastern Medicine ClinicRussian: Klinika vostochnoy meditsinyi dinastii Lin or Клиника восточной медицины династии Лин, located at 1, Ulofa Palme StreetRussian: ulitsa Ulofa Palme or улица Улофа Пальме, offers a plethora of medical procedures ranging from unconventional diagnostic tests to physical therapy. Every visitor to this medical centre can count on an individual approach from doctors who did their medical training in China. The Doktor Lee ClinicRussian: Klinika «Doktor Li» or Клиника «Доктор Ли» (7/1, Malaya Pereyaslavskaya Russian: Малая ПереяславскаяStreet) focuses mainly on acupuncture. The well-known TAO Traditional Chinese Medicine ClinicRussian: Klinika traditsionnoy kitayskoy meditsiny «TAO» or Клиника традиционной китайской медицины «ТАО» (8/3, OstrozhenkaRussian: Остоженка Street) is run by Dr. Liu Yangshung. All of his colleagues are originally from China and treat many common diseases by activating Yin and Yang energies. This list of Chinese medical centres in Moscow is far from exhaustive.

This poem is from a recent issue of River Styx. Bilgere lives near Lake Erie and his most recent book is Imperial, from The University of Pittsburgh Press.

Matt (11) gave the Wallace Collection a K-Rating of 9!
Sina (5) gave the Wallace Collection a K-Rating of 10!
The Wallace Collection holds the biggest ever art collection bequeathed to the nation. The gallery is free to enter, which makes it perfect to drop into quickly if you find yourself near Manchester Square, just a stone's through away from Oxford Street's Selfridges.
Kids will love the armouries, full of Samurai swords, some armour thought to have been worn by Henry VIII (look out for pomegranates, the symbol of Catherine of Aragon, on the armour in the First European Armoury room) and a complete set of armour for a horse. Look out for events where you can try on armour and the more interactive armour areas in the basement.
Tudor fans will also feel at home in the ground floor galleries. The Wallace Collection is home to the only contemporary painting of Hans Holbein, an artist from the time of Henry VIII. Watchers of Wolf Hall may be interested to know that this miniature painting was used as the basis for the character in the TV series.
The Grand Hall is really the main event. Recently renovated, there are more amazing paintings in this room that you can shake a stick at and that's not even mentioning the beautiful sculptures. The painting to look out for is Titian's Perseus and Andromeda which everyone thought was a fake for year and so got rather faded while hanging in a bathroom.
The Rococo and Marie Antoinette rooms and the many paintings by Gainsborough and Reynolds (which are great for kids as they so often feature really cute puppies) are well worth seeing. 'The Swing,' by Fragonard will be recognised by anyone who loves the Disney movie 'Frozen', but allow older kids to take a closer look to see where the naughty man reclining in the foreground of the painting is looking!
Other rooms feature Venetian painters, particularly Canaletto and Dutch Masters such as Rembrandt.
Look out for lots of great family activities, such as drawing workshops or puppet theatre!
Don't try and nip in for a few minutes if you have shopping bags as you'll be directed straight to the cloakroom to leave your bags and will then be stuck in a queue to get them back.
The shop always has something to appeal to adults and kids.
Door staff can seem quite abrupt but ignore the attitude as there are often some great family events at the weekend and in the school holidays.
Afternoon tea in the Wallace Restaurant is really well-priced (under £20). Book in advance and treat yourself as it's a wonderful venue.
A good gift shop and nice toilets. A good gallery to choose for a quick bit of culture in the afternoon as it is so much smaller and more intimate than the big museums like the British Museum.

'Game-changer' light rail project on Van Nuys Boulevard has LA Metro officials hitting the ground on foot
Metro's "First/Last Mile" approach prompted an effort to figure out what streets riders would be taking just to get to the train.
The East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor project has Metro officials out looking for the best streets riders would take to get to the proposed train. (Metro, John Kaliski Architects, 2015.)
By Ryan Carter | rcarter@scng.com | Daily News
With a giant light-rail project up and down the center of Van Nuys Boulevard in the works, L.A. Metro officials have been hitting the streets lately. On foot.
Specifically, they've been doing "walk audits" to figure out the best ways for people to get to the 11 stations that by 2027 will dot the route of the East Valley Transit Corridor — a $1.3 billion, 9.2-mile light-rail train that will transport people up and down the middle of Van Nuys Boulevard (a stretch also runs parallel to a stretch of San Fernando Road) from the Van Nuys Metro Orange Line Station, to the Sylmar/San Fernando Metrolink Station. The light-rail line should look much like the Gold Line in the San Gabriel Valley, or the Expo Line that runs from downtown LA to Santa Monica.
Metro wants to begin construction by 2022, and have the Valley trains running by 2027, just in time for the Olympic Games hosted by L.A. in 2028.
In the meantime, Metro planners have been at work figuring out where the more than 30,000 daily riders by 2040 would be getting on and off the train, and they've also been looking at various so-called "pathways" on how those riders would get there — and the landscaping around those pathways.
First, a quick catch-up on the proposed stations …
Here's what they would be, end to end, from north to south.
The line is slated to start at Sylmar/San Fernando and go to these two stops before hitting Van Nuys Boulevard:
Maclay (city of San Fernando)
Paxton (near the 118)
Then, on Van Nuys Boulevard, it will make these stops:
Van Nuys/San Fernando
Nordhoff
Van Nuys Metrolink
Sherman Way
Vanowen
Van Nuys/Metro Orange Line (where you can take the busway east or west, or another bus to go south).

As for the pathways to the stations, Metro leaned on the recent "walk audits," said Metro Project Manager Walter Davis, who added they now want to roll out what they found to the public in a series of meetings that are being held this week.
Underpinning the effort to identify the pathways is Metro's "First/Last Mile" approach, Davis said.
"We've learned that a large percentage of our riders don't drive to stations. They bike or walk," he said.
The idea is to plan the route based on a rider's entire journey, including the part of that journey in which they're actually getting to the rail station itself. Turns out there's a bunch of ways people do that, Davis said. They often travel by bike or on foot for the first and last mile before the stop. Often they take a favorite street. Identifying those routes that riders take before and after their transit ride has been a part of walking audit.
In that spirit, Metro is looking to increase the "attractiveness" of the areas around the stations.They can do this by sprucing up the landscape in various ways, from adding street furniture and lighting to traffic calming, Davis said.
Ultimately, it's not an insignificant part of the planning — the agency is working under a directive mandatign that 3% of the project's costs go to the "first/last mile" work.
When are the community meetings, you ask? (They'll be rolling out some of the "pathways" at these sessions):
6-8 p.m., Tuesday, June 11Las Palmas Park Banquet Room505 S. Huntington St., San Fernando
5 – 7 p.m., Wednesday, June 12Van Nuys State Office Building6150 Van Nuys Blvd., Van Nuys
10 a.m. – noon, Saturday, June 15Plaza Del Valle8610 Van Nuys Blvd.
, Panorama City
Metro's Board of Directors chose light rail as the best option for the project back in June of last year.
Right now, Metro staffers are reviewing more than 1,400 written and oral comments received during the project's public hearings and its 60-day public review period, with the final environmental report to be completed by the end of the year. When that happens, the Metro Board will consider certifying the document. If they do, preliminary engineering can begin.

It hasn't been all fun and games, though. The project has a bit of a story. One of the project's rail options became a subject of controversy after Valley business owners said construction of a proposed maintenance yard and storage facility could force them to move. Davis said the issue has been resolved after community meetings highlighted the concern and Metro went with a different option.
The project's funding is coming from a variety of sources, including Measure M, the half-cent sales tax adopted by Los Angeles County voters in 2016. It allocates more than $810 million in local taxpayer funds for the transit corridor line. At the moment, $1.3 billion has been identified for the project, most coming from local Measure M, Measure R and state gas tax funds.
Davis said that the project will be huge for the region, increasing connectivity with other transit services while creating a longterm form of transit that will coincide, if not spur, more investment in the area.
"I think it"s going to be a game-changer for the region," he said.
L.A. City Councilwoman Nury Martinez, who's district the rail project runs through, echoed Davis, noting just how needed it is in a region of the city that she said hasn't always seen the benefits of transit dollars.
"This community and corridor is an area that is starving for economic growth," she said in a statement to the Daily News. "The energy that a real transit system will inject into the Van Nuys corridor, from the Civic Center, to Panorama City, to Pacoima will finally stimulate the growth and change that residents have long been waiting for."

Finally, after a long winter, summer is here. Nothing announces summer like fun, colorful summer cocktails. Whether it's a cocktail hour for two, a pool party or a special occasion, no summer celebration is complete without a few colorful cocktail recipes.
Muddler. A muddler is used to crush fruit, herbs, spices and more to extract flavors.
Reamer. Like a muddler, the reamer produces fresh juice from your favorite fruits.
Channel Knife. To create twists and garnishes, you will need a channel knife.
Jigger. A jigger measures the perfect one ounce or half an ounce for your cocktails.
Zester. A zester allows you to capture the aroma and tang of citrus.
Knife. A small four-inch blade is used to dice and slice ingredients.
Stirrer. A long stirrer blends your cocktails thoroughly.
Strainer. You'll use a strainer to separate the ice from liquid while pouring.
Corkscrew. Make sure you have a corkscrew if you need to open wine.
Bottle Opener. Use a bottle opener to pop the top off mixers or beer.
Seabreeze. The Seabreeze is a summer trademark. Combine two ounces of vodka, three ounces of grapefruit juice and three ounces of cranberry juice. Garnish with a lime wedge. Pour over crushed ice, and you have a drink as brisk as a day at sea.
Blue Margarita. This smooth cooler is a twist on the basic margarita. Shake one ounce of silver tequila, one ounce of blue curacao and an ounce of fresh squeezed lime. Strain into a salt-rimmed glass and garnish with a lime wedge.
Berries Lemonade. This adult version of lemonade is tasty and colorful. Mix a one-ounce jigger of water to the reamed juice of a fresh lemon. Add two teaspoons of sugar, four fresh raspberries and four fresh blueberries. Finish with a splash of ginger ale or club soda and a one-ounce jigger of vodka. Enjoy.
Bellini. The is the perfect summer brunch drink. Ream juice from a fresh peach into a chilled glass and fill with champagne. Garnish with a peach slice floating on top.
Grasshopper. Cool and refreshing, this green drink is a summer classic. Mix one ounce each of green crème de menthe, white crème de menthe and light cream. Shake and strain into a cocktail glass.
Mimosa. A weekend traditional that's good anytime is best served with three ounces of fresh squeezed orange juice and three ounces of chilled champagne.
The Blood Orange Snowbird. Mix two ounces of vodka, fresh-squeezed blood orange juice, Italian blood orange soda and a squeeze of lemon. This drink is as colorful as it is cooling.
Mango Daiquiri. Straight from the sunny islands, the mango daiquiri is a great poolside sipper. In a blender with crushed ice, combine one ounce each of light rum and lime juice to one teaspoon of sugar, two ounces of pureed mango and a tablespoon of Triple Sec.
Whatever your drink of choice may be, get out there and enjoy summer. Experiment with different fruits, mixers and liquors to make your summer signature drink. Cheers!

This paper presents an approach on detecting heart disease from ECG signals by fine-tuning the deep learning neural network, ConvNetQuake. For context, ConvNetQuake is a convolutional neural network, used by Perol, Gharbi, and Denolle [4], for Earthquake detection and location from a single waveform. A deep learning approach was used due to the model's ability to be trained using multiple GPUs and terabyte-sized datasets. This, in turn, creates a model that is robust against noise. The purpose of this paper is to provide detailed analyses of the contributions of the ECG leads on identifying heart disease, to show the use of multiple channels in ConvNetQuake enhances prediction accuracy, and to show that feature engineering is not necessary for any of the training, validation, or testing processes. In this area, the combination of data fusion and machine learning techniques exhibits great promise to healthcare innovation, and the analyses in this paper help further this realization. The benefits of translating knowledge between deep learning and its real-world applications in health are also illustrated.

== Previous Work and Motivation ==
The database used in previous works is the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) database, which consists of ECG records. Previous papers used techniques, such as CNN, SVM, K-nearest neighbors, naïve Bayes classification, and ANN. From these instances, the paper observes several faults in the previous papers. The first being the issue that most papers use feature selection on the raw ECG data before training the model. Dabanloo and Attarodi [2] used various techniques such as ANN, K-nearest neighbors, and Naïve Bayes. However, they extracted two features, the T-wave integral and the total integral, to aid in localizing and detecting heart disease. Sharma and Sunkaria [3] used SVM and K-nearest neighbors as their classifier, but extracted various features using stationary wavelet transforms to decompose the ECG signal into sub-bands. The second issue is that papers that do not use feature selection would arbitrarily pick ECG leads for classification without rationale. For example, Liu et al. [1] used a deep CNN that uses 3 seconds of ECG signal from lead II at a time as input. The decision for using lead II compared to the other leads was not explained.

The issue with feature selection is that it can be time-consuming and impractical with large volumes of data. The second issue with the arbitrary selection of leads is that it does not offer insight into why the lead was chosen and each lead's contributions in the identification of heart disease. Thus, this paper addresses these two issues through implementing a deep learning model that does not rely on feature selection of ECG data and to quantify the contributions of each ECG and Frank lead in identifying heart disease.
== Model Architecture ==
This model is trained by using batches of size 10. The learning rate is 10^-4. The ADAM optimizer is used. The ADAM optimizer is used. The ADAM (adaptive moment estimation) optimizer is a stochastic gradient optimization method that uses adaptive learning rates for the parameters used in the estimating the gradient's first and second moments [5]. In training the model, the dataset is split into a train set, validation set, and test set with ratios 80-10-10.

==Results==
The paper first uses quantification of accuracies for single channels with 20-fold cross-validation, resulting in the highest individual accuracies: v5, v6, vx, vz, and ii. The researchers further investigated the accuracies for pairs of the top 5 highest individual channels using 20-fold cross-validation. They arrived at the conclusion of highest pairs accuracies to fed into a neural network is lead v6 and lead vz. They then use 100-fold cross validation on v6 and vz pair of channels, then compare outliers based on top 20, top 50 and total 100 performing models, finding that standard deviation is non-trivial and there are few models performed very poorly.
Comparing with other models in the other 12 papers, the model in this article has the highest accuracy, specificity, and precision. With concerns of patients' records affecting the training accuracy, they used 290 fold patient-wise split, resulting in the same highest accuracy of the pair v6 and vz same as record-wise split. The second best pair was ii and vz, which also contains the vz channel. Combining the two best pair channels into v6, vz, vii ultimately gave the best results over 10 trials which has an average of 97.83% in patient-wise split. Even though the patient-wise split might result in lower accuracy evaluation, however, it still maintains a very high average.
==Conclusion & Discussion==
The paper introduced a new architecture for heart condition classification based on raw ECG signals using multiple leads. It outperformed the state-of-art model by a large margin of 1 percent. This study finds that out of the 15 ECG channels(12 conventional ECG leads and 3 Frank Leads), channel v6, vz, and ii contain the most meaningful information for detecting myocardial infraction. Also, recent advances in machine learning can be leveraged to produce a model capable of classifying myocardial infraction with a cardiologist-level success rate. To further improve the performance of the models, access to a larger labeled data set is needed. The PTB database is small. It is difficult to test the true robustness of the model with a relatively small test set. If a larger data set can be found to help correctly identify other heart conditions beyond myocardial infraction, the research group plans to share the deep learning models and develop an open-source, computationally efficient app that can be readily used by cardiologists.
A detailed analysis of the relative importance of each of the 15 ECG channels indicates that deep learning can identify myocardial infraction by processing only ten seconds of raw ECG data from the v6, vz and ii leads and reaches a cardiologist-level success rate. Deep learning algorithms may be readily used as commodity software. The neural network model that was originally designed to identify earthquakes may be re-designed and tuned to identify myocardial infraction. Feature engineering of ECG data is not required to identify myocardial infraction in the PTB database. This model only required ten seconds of raw ECG data to identify this heart condition with cardiologist-level performance. Access to a larger database should be provided to deep learning researchers so they can work on detecting different types of heart conditions. Deep learning researchers and the cardiology community can work together to develop deep learning algorithms that provide trustworthy, real-time information regarding heart conditions with minimal computational resources.
Fourier Transform(such as FFT) can be helpful when dealing with ECG signals. It transforms signals from time domain to frequency domain, which means some hidden features in frequency may be discovered.
==Critiques==
- The table 9 in section 4.1 record-wise split of the paper shows a list of results compared with other studies in the literature that also use the PTB database. It was revealed that the model implemented in the paper has the highest precision, accuracy and specificity, not the best in sensitivity. It would be interesting to investigate how Huang's model got the best sensitivity, and what he was doing differently than the above model. Also, there could have been a section to compare the difference between record-wise split and patient-wise split. That is because the three statistical attributes: standard deviation, median and average of the resulting models using different split vary quite a lot.

Ministers are to bow to pressure to exclude homeless families from universal credit after it emerged that design flaws in the troubled new benefits system have triggered an explosion in rent arrears, costing council tax payers millions of pounds.
Local authorities in London say rent collection levels for homeless tenants placed in emergency accommodation have collapsed following the introduction of the universal credit digital service last year.
Croydon council says it faces an unpaid £2.5m rent bill this year as a result, and has warned ministers this scale of losses is unsustainable. It said the costs were leaving councils potentially unable to meet their statutory duties under homelessness law.
Councils have pointed out that universal credit rules force homeless families to be put up in short-term, bed and breakfast-style lodgings to wait six weeks to qualify for rent support, something they say is incompatible with laws that require councils to move those families on to more suitable accommodation within six weeks.
Large numbers of families placed in bed and breakfast accommodation in the boroughs of Croydon, Southwark and Sutton have run up arrears averaging £1,500 before being transferred by the authorities, leaving councils to foot a bill that under the old system would have been met by housing benefit.
Croydon has told MPs that universal credit policy and design is "simply not compatible with the effective discharge of those councils', or indeed any council's, responsibilities to homeless households". It said housing benefit was "a system that has historically proven to better suit the vulnerability of this customer group".
Before the rollout of full universal credit in each of the three boroughs, which were among the first in the UK to move to the full system, rent collection levels for tenants in emergency accommodation were over 90%. However, these fell rapidly following the move to the new system: to 59% in Croydon, 44% in Sutton and 51% in Southwark.
Universal credit customers are not able to claim housing support if their rental liability is less than six weeks. However, it is unlawful for councils to keep homeless families in emergency lodgings for longer than six weeks. Ministers periodically admonish or fine councils which breach the six-week rule. In the past this has included Croydon.
Concerns over homeless families follow wider fears over universal credit-triggered rent arrears more generally. A Guardian investigation last month found that in some areas as many as eight out of 10 of all tenants on universal credit had fallen into arrears or increased existing arrears since moving to the new system.
Three-quarters of homeless households in bed and breakfast-style accommodation are families with children. Nearly two-thirds are lone parents and it is not unusual that they are fleeing domestic violence or have a mental illness. Most are not in work or in a position to pay rent.
The bulk of the expected tens of thousands of homeless claimants affected each year are expected to be in London, where pressure on housing is highest. The latest quarterly official homeless figures released on Thursday revealed that the number of households in bed and breakfast accommodation in England has risen by 17% over the past year.
Universal credit was introduced by the former work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith in 2013 as a way of ensuring claimants would be better off in work than on benefits. However, Treasury cuts to work allowances within universal credit have reduced the incentive for some claimants to get a job and will leave 1.2 million working families worse off.

Today I have this uber-gorgeous holographic black shade from an Australian brand, Glitter Gal. I couldn't wait to swatch it and show you guys. It was a pain waiting for the sun to come out in the cloudy Germany, and for the brief moment it did, I jumped up and about and shot a few pictures to capture the true awesomeness of this nail polish.
Glitter Gal 3D Holographic Black is a very pigmented black shade with a high intensity of linear 3D/holographic effect. The sun captures the vivid, sparkling holos to perfection. It's like a rainbow of colours. I don't like wearing black nail colours, but I am dazzled with this particular one. I have one more stunning nail polish by Glitter Gal in my upcoming post, which I'll be probably be ooh-ing and aah-ing about quite similarly. Consider yourself forewarned!
I have used two coats and a top coat in all the pictures above. The formula is amazing, you can attain opacity in a single coat even. The polish applied smoothly, without any streaking. And also dried quite quickly! I am obsessed with this stunner black holo.
Glitter Gal has a huge range of 3D Holographic polishes which are worth every penny. I know the 9ml size is quite small but since you don't need too many coats the bottle does last a little longer and also for such a stunner you need to splurge guys. You won't be able to stop staring at your nails once you have it on!
Glitter Gal also says "they use the highest quality, most extravagant ingredients to offer our customers the most superior polish on the international market" which I can really vouch for since the polish is of fabulous quality and the holographic effect makes me drool.
Glitter Gal 3D Holographic Black is available for $11.00 (per 9ml) from Glitter Gal and Llarowe.
You can find Glitter Gal stockists in your country here.

Miami Cop Arrested After Video Shows Him Placing His Knee on a Woman's Neck
By Daniel Villarreal On 6/25/20 at 6:08 PM EDT
U.S. Miami Police brutality Police officer Florida
Miami Gardens Police Officer Jordy Martel has been fired and now faces charges after bystander video from January 14, 2019 showed him dragging a 33-year-old Black woman named Safiya Satchell out of her SUV, kneeling on her neck and using his Taser on her twice.
Satchell, who was four months pregnant, later miscarried. The video was recorded by her friend.
Martel, who is Latino, served as a law enforcement officer for two years. He now faces charges for battery and official misconduct after he allegedly filed two reports on Satchell's arrest containing falsehoods. He also has two unrelated complaints pending against him in the police department's division of internal affairs.
Satchell's arrest happened outside of Tootsies Cabaret, an adult club in Miami Gardens, a Florida city about 18 miles north of Miami. According to Martel's arrest report, he was working as an off-duty security guard at Tootsies when a manager complained that Satchell was "being disorderly and disrespectful" with staff. The manager asked Martel to issue Satchell a trespassing warning.
Martel reportedly confronted Satchell in her Mercedes SUV and asked her to exit the vehicle. When she allegedly refused, Martel claimed he tried to open the vehicle door but she closed the window on his hand. After exiting the vehicle, Martel resisted him by tensing her body, kicking and punching him in lip. He then used his Taser on her twice.

Satchell's defense lawyers gave her friend's video to Miami-Dade prosecutors and Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Martel had arrested Satchell on third-degree felony charges of resisting an officer with violence and battery on a law-enforcement office, however, the charges were later dropped by prosecutors.
"If you're an officer that has broken policy or acted under color of law with a belief that Black lives don't matter, you ought to be looking over your shoulder because the chickens have finally come home to roost," said Satchell's lawyer, Jonathan Jordan. "My client deserves to witness justice be served in this prosecution against this former officer where so many others in her position have not been as fortunate."
Newsweek reached out to Jordan for further information. This story will be updated with any response.

Martel was fired on June 18 over a complaint regarding his actions on March 21 when he and another officer were caught on video beating a Black man named Miguel McKay over the suspicion that McKay had been "doing doughnuts," or driving fast in circles, in a gas station parking lot. McKay said Martel and the other officer busted a window on his truck.
"I terminated the officers because the behavior was egregious and will not be tolerated at the department," Miami Gardens Police Chief Delma Noel-Pratt said in a statement.
The Local 10 TV news team reported that Martel was also under an internal affairs investigation for a February 2020 charge of improper procedure investigation and a March 2020 charge of excessive force.
