Centre-right wins landslide victory in Bulgarian elections
By Elitsa Vucheva
Brussels, 6. Jul 2009, 09:28
Bulgaria's Socialist-led coalition government suffered a severe blow in the general elections on Sunday (5 July), which saw a high turnout and a clear-cut victory for the centre-right opposition Gerb party of Sofia mayor Boiko Borisov.
Gerb, or Citizens for the European Development of Bulgaria, had nearly 40 percent (39.7%) of the votes with almost all ballots counted on Monday morning, the Central Electoral Commission said on its website.
The Socialists came second with barely 17.7 percent, followed by the ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) at 14.5 percent, the far-right Ataka (9.4%), and the right-wing Blue Coalition (6.7%).
Mr Borisov said he would now engage in talks with the right-wing groups that have made it in the parliament – the Blue Coalition, Ataka and the Order, Lawfulness, Justice party which obtained a little over the threshold of four percent (4.13%) – in order to try and form a right-wing coalition government.
"I hope we will be able to form a government as soon as possible," Mr Borisov, likely to become the country's new prime minister, said at a press conference on Sunday night.
"Taking into account the inheritance we get, I can't promise miracles in the next five or six months," he added.
Gerb almost doubled its result compared to the European elections a month ago, where it was also the clear winner with 24.4 percent, ahead of the Socialists (18.5%) and DPS (14.1%).
"Nobody expected such a result," Vessela Tcherneva, a senior policy analyst with the European Council on Foreign Relations think-tank, told EUobserver.
"People want change, they want this [Socialist] government to go," she added.
Former bodyguard
The 50-year-old mayor of Sofia has a "tough guy" reputation among Bulgarians and has won over many of them with his image of a "man of the people" and his repeated pledges to end corruption and organised crime.
"I vote for a European Bulgaria, which has to prove that it is not the poorest and most corrupt country in Europe," he said after casting his vote on Sunday.
Mr Borisov was previously chief secretary in the interior ministry and bears the rank of general. He is also a former fire-fighter, has a black belt in karate and used to be the bodyguard of former communist leader Todor Zhivkov and ex-king-turned-premier Simeon Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha in the 1990s.
In an article last week, French daily Le Monde underlined Mr Borisov's "warm relations" with French president Nicolas Sarkozy due to their "common traits of character" and said that in 2004, the Bulgarian offered Mr Sarkozy a gun in exchange for 150 new Renault and Peugeot cars offered by the then French interior minister.
The Sofia mayor's character and charisma undoubtedly played "an important role" in the election result, Ms Tcherneva said.
The analyst added she expected him to deliver concrete results both for reasons of image and of substance.
With the economic crisis likely to hit Bulgaria hardest in the autumn, it will be crucial for Mr Borisov to convince the European Commission to unblock funds that are still frozen due to corruption concerns, Ms Tcherneva said.
Additionally, Mr Borisov still has an unclear reputation among other EU leaders – "people wonder how to look at him" – and this will be an important motivation for him to prove himself, she added.
Socialist government linked with EU failures
With more than four million of the almost 7 million Bulgarians eligible to vote showing up on Sunday, the turnout in these elections was over 60 percent – five percent more than the previous vote in 2005 (55.7%) and 20 percent more than the European elections one month ago (40%).
The high turnout shows that "people are returning to politics," outgoing Prime Minister Sergei Stanishev told the press.
Mr Stanishev's government is credited with getting Bulgaria in the EU in January 2007, but was also strongly criticised for its failure to deal with widespread corruption in the Balkan country.
The government was blamed for irreversibly losing €220 million of pre-accession EU funding last year over the persistent corruption problems, with millions more of EU money still frozen and at risk, unless Sofia delivers some results.
The vote is "political punishment" for Mr Stanishev's government and is linked to Bulgaria's "so far failed EU membership," Vladimir Shopov, an independent political analyst told EUobserver.
"It has been an important element among the so-called 'middle generation' and the young people," who massively voted for Gerb, Mr Shopov said.
With Mr Borisov coming to power, a change in both the tone and the style in the government's relations with the "European partners" can now be expected, he added.
Poland and Hungary challenge rule-of-law tool at EU court
MEPs pledged that the parliament will request an expedited procedure at the European Court of Justice, to speed up deliberations, and urged the EU Commission not to wait for the ruling and take action.
MEPs to declare EU an LGBTI 'freedom zone'

Relief in EPP group, as Orbán's party finally leaves
The debate over Fidesz had become an unbearable political burden on EPP - but it also represented a core dilemma for many centre-right, mainstream parties struggling to deal with their populist challengers.

MEPs are scheduled to vote on Wednesday to change the rules of procedure of the centre-right European People's Party parliamentary group to allow the suspension of a member party.
Too few central and eastern Europeans at top of EU
European Democracy Consulting study said continued low numbers, or "even just a feeling of lasting under-representation", will lead to frustration and impact EU governance.

Suns' Deandre Ayton: Monster double-double in return
Rotowire Jan 27, 2023
Ayton (illness) finished with 19 points (6-20 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 20 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 31 minutes during Thursday's 99-95 loss to the Mavericks. Making his return from a three-game absence due to illness, Ayton started and took on his usual minutes, delivering an imposing line for managers in need of boards. However, thanks largely to the subpar shooting from the field and the mediocre showing from the free-throw line on high volume, Ayton's stat line was a little less valuable than it could have been. Ayton's efficiency should improve in the coming games, as he's converting his shots at a 57.2 percent clip for the year.

Suns' Deandre Ayton: Says he'll play Thursday
Ayton (illness) said he'll play Thursday against the Mavericks, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports. Ayton has missed the last three games due to an illness but was probable ahead of Thursday's matchup and will be able to return to the court. Bismack Biyombo should retreat to the bench with Ayton back in action Thursday.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Likely to play Thursday
Ayton (illness) is probable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports. Ayton has missed the last three games due to an illness, but he returned to practice Wednesday and will likely be back in action a day later. He's posted double-doubles in five of his last six appearances, averaging 17.5 points, 12.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 32.7 minutes per game over that stretch.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Takes part in practice
Ayton (illness) was present for Wednesday's practice and was spotted taking part in work during the media-access portion of the session, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. While it's unclear if Ayton was a full or partial participant in the session, his involvement in any capacity bodes well for his chances of putting an end to his three-game absence Thursday against the Mavericks. Bismack Biyombo has started at center in each of the past three games in Ayton's stead, averaging 7.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.0 blocks and 2.0 assists in 25.7 minutes in those contests.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Officially out
Ayton (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Charlotte, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. Ayton was downgraded to doubtful earlier in the day, so this latest update comes as no surprise. He'll miss his third straight contest while recovering from an illness.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Upgraded to doubtful
Ayton (illness) has been upgraded from out to doubtful ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Hornets. Ayton remains expected to miss Tuesday's contest, but the upgrade suggests there is at least a chance the big man will rejoin the action. If he misses a third straight game, as expected, Bismack Biyombo figures to get another start, and Jock Landale will likely snare a more sizable role as well. Even if Ayton sits, his upgrade to doubtful suggests a return isn't too far away. The change in designation still means it will be worth keeping an eye on Ayton's status leading up to the 9 PM ET tipoff.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Ruled out Tuesday
Ayton (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Hornets, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports. The 7-foot center will officially miss his third straight game as he continues to recover from a non-COVID-related illness. Bismack Biyombo figures to continue to start in Ayton's place. The Arizona product's next chance of taking the floor comes Thursday against the Mavericks.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Out again Sunday
Ayton (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Grizzlies, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports. Ayton will miss both halves of the Suns' weekend back-to-back set due to an illness. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Hornets. In his absence, Bismack Biyombo figures to draw another start, while Jock Landale garners an increased role off the bench.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Out Saturday
Ayton (illness) won't play Saturday against the Pacers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. Ayton has played in three consecutive games since returning from an ankle injury, but he'll be back on the shelf Saturday. In his absence, Bismack Biyombo, Jock Landale and Dario Saric are candidates to see expanded roles.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Questionable Saturday
Ayton is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers due to a non-COVID-related illness, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports. Ayton's status will presumably depend on how he is feeling closer to tip-off. If he is ultimately unable to go, Jock Landale and Bismack Biyombo would be in line for increased workloads.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Efficient in Monday's loss
Ayton accumulated 18 points (8-11 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes during Monday's 136-106 loss to Memphis. Ayton has scored in double digits in six straight games and has four double-doubles in that span. His shooting numbers were good Monday, but that has been an anomaly for the big man since the start of the new year. In six January outings, Ayton is averaging 15.5 points and shooting 46.7 percent from the field.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Poor shooting sours return
Ayton totaled 11 points (5-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes during Friday's 121-116 loss to the Timberwolves. Ayton racked up a double-double in the loss but struggled mightily from the field, shooting just 5-of-18. The 11 rebounds were nice, but that's really where the positives end. He currently profiles as the 72nd-best player in standard fantasy formats but is outside the top 190 over the past two weeks. His inability to protect the rim, along with mediocre free-throw shooting, makes him a tough player to see blowing up at any point in the near future.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Available Friday
Ayton (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Timberwolves. A sprained left ankle has kept Ayton out over the past two games, but the center will return Friday, which should push Bismack Biyombo back to the bench. Ayton could be featured more in the offense while the Suns remain without Chris Paul (hip), Devin Booker (groin), Landry Shamet (hip), Cameron Johnson (knee) and Cameron Payne (foot). Since Christmas Day, Ayton is averaging 17.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 33.0 minutes.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Expected to play Friday
Ayton, who's officially listed as questionable with a sprained left ankle, is expected to play Friday against the Timberwolves, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. Ayton has missed back-to-back games after spraining his ankle during Sunday's loss to Cleveland, but it appears the talented big man will return to action against Minnesota. Despite the optimistic report, fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm Ayton's availability ahead of the 8 p.m. ET tipoff before locking him into lineups. If he does return, Jock Landale and Bismack Biyombo would presumably see fewer minutes.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Listed questionable for Friday
Ayton (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable on the injury report ahead of Friday's game versus the Timberwolves, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports. Ayton was listed out initially on the team's previous two injury reports, so the big man's upgrade to questionable seemingly gives him a reasonable shot to retake the floor. If that's the case, Jock Landale and Bismack Biyombo would presumably see a reduction in minutes.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Remains sidelined against Denver
Ayton (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports. Ayton will miss both legs of the Suns' back-to-back with a left ankle sprain. Jock Landale and Bismack Biyombo will likely continue to receive extended minutes in his absence. Ayton's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Timberwolves.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Won't play Tuesday
Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. Ayton played 30 minutes during Sunday's loss to Cleveland and notched his third straight double-double during the matchup, but it appears he sustained an ankle injury during the contest as well. He'll sit out Tuesday with the issue, but his status for the second half of the Suns' back-to-back Wednesday in Denver remains unclear, though he can presumably be considered, at best, questionable. In Ayton's absence, Jock Landale, Bismack Biyombo and Dario Saric are candidates for increased playing time.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Nursing ankle sprain
Rotowire Jan 9, 2023
Ayton is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors due to a left ankle sprain, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports. It's unclear as to when Ayton picked up the injury, but his status is now up in the air as Tuesday's tipoff approaches. The team should have a better idea of his availability after morning shootaround and pregame warmups.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Grabs third straight double-double
Ayton finished Sunday's 112-98 loss to the Cavaliers with 14 points (6-16 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and one block in 30 minutes. Ayton managed just six first-half points on 2-of-9 shooting from the field but still made his presence felt with four assists and six rebounds heading into the break. The big man added another six points and five boards in the third quarter to notch his third straight double-double while also reaching his second-highest assist total of the season with six. He's now scored in double figures in four straight contests and in 10 of his last 11.
Suns' Deandre Ayton: Provides double-double in loss
Ayton produced 23 points (10-20 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds and two assists over 36 minutes during Friday's 104-96 loss to the Heat. Ayton was a bright spot in Phoenix's loss as he battled to a draw against Bam Adebayo . While the Suns have tinkered with options in the interior to complement Ayton, Torrey Craig has emerged as the best option, and Ayton's numbers have been excellent with Craig supporting him.

@GeraldBourguet
"He poked the bear." Deandre Ayton said he was frustrated with his missed shots early on after the way he struggled against Toronto last time. Didn't know what the deal with Scottie Barnes was, but said their face-to-face woke him up
The Suns were shining tonight! ☀ Ayton: 22 PTS, 13 REB, 2 AST Paul: 19 PTS, 9 AST, 2 BLK https://t.co/WYmimZ69Yx
"Those are your plays!" Deandre Ayton said he was telling Devin Booker that on the bench after Mikal Bridges' late-game jumpers from the elbow. Also revealed the Suns refer to those sets as the "Mikal-bow."
Final: PHX 114, TOR 106 Bridges: 29 Pts, 6 Ast, 3 Stl, 12-19 FG Ayton: 22 Pts, 13 Reb, 9-17 FG Paul: 19 Pts, 9 Ast, 5-11 FG VanVleet: 24 Pts, 9 Ast, 9-19 FG Suns win bench points 38-15
Ayton's putback puts the Suns up by 6 with 51 seconds to go. From Mikal hitting those middies to Craig' O-rebound to CP3's triple to DA's offensive putback, all of the Suns are contributing down the stretch here tonight
End of 3Q: TOR 84, PHX 82 Bridges: 25 Pts, 4 Ast, 3 Stl, 10-16 FG Ayton: 18 Pts, 11 Reb, 7-15 FG Paul: 12 Pts, 9 Ast, 4-9 FG VanVleet: 20 Pts, 6 Ast, 7-15 FG
Deandre Ayton didn't like the way Scottie Barnes fouled him. Said something to his face when Barnes didn't back away
Halftime: PHX 62, TOR 53 Bridges: 23 Pts, 4 Ast, 3 Stl, 9-12 FG Ayton: 12 Pts, 8 Reb, 5-13 FG Paul: 9 Pts, 6 Ast, 3-5 3P Siakam: 12 Pts, 4-7 FG One of the best halves of Mikal Bridges' career
End of 1Q: PHX 31, TOR 28 Bridges: 16 Pts, 3 Stl, 6-8 FG Ayton: 8 Pts, 3-7 FG Paul: 3 Pts, 3 Ast Trent: 8 Pts, 3-5 FG
Mikal Bridges and Deandre Ayton with 24 of the Suns' 28 points. Pretty incredible stuff

Q: SQL Query for getting total students who registered for more then 5 courses in a semester I am new with sql queries so dont know much
i have a table named registration
this table has the following structure
Student_ID int,
Course varchar(15),
Score int,
Semester varchar(15),
Discipline varchar(10),
Campus varchar(15),
Degree varchar(10),
Year int

it does not contain any primary key it has the data of students from 4 different campuses of the same university so student_id is repeated
i am required total number of students who have taken more then 5 courses in a  particular semester
i hope i have made the question clear kindly help if any one can.

A: Use GROUP BY and HAVING COUNT to get all the students that have taken more than five courses:
SELECT student_id
FROM yourtable
WHERE Semester = ....
GROUP BY student_id
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT Course) > 5

To get the number of students you can count the number of rows that query returns:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS total FROM
(
    SELECT student_id
    FROM yourtable
    WHERE Semester = ....
    GROUP BY student_id
    HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT Course) > 5
)

A: To get the students who are registered for more than 5 courses you do this...
SELECT CAMPUS, STUDENT_ID
FROM REGISTRATION
WHERE SEMESTER = 'GIVEN SEMESTER'
GROUP BY CAMPUS, STUDENT_ID
HAVING COUNT(*) > 5;

To get the number of students who are registered for more than 5 courses you do this...
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM REGISTRATION
WHERE SEMESTER = 'GIVEN SEMESTER'
GROUP BY CAMPUS, STUDENT_ID
HAVING COUNT(*) > 5;

You need to group by campus AND student id since student id is repeated for different campuses. Also, the primary key should be composite (campus, student_id, semester, year, course) if I understand you correctly.

A: SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(sub.Student_ID)) FROM
(
SELECT un.Student_ID, COUNT(*) FROM university un
GROUP BY un.Student_ID, un.Semester
HAVING
COUNT(un.Course)>5
) AS sub

I assume the table name is university

Donald Trump: the United States of America is NOT your country alone – it is a nation of, by, and for immigrants | JULIUS C. WILLIS JR: Our World, Today!
Donald Trump needs a lesson in history. Donald Trump extravagantly displayed his lack of modern worldliness when he claimed that immigrants are not deserving of US citizenship – and that those who were born in this country of illegal immigrant parents are not, could not and should not be US citizens.
Ever since the first wave of pilgrims braved the unknown to seek a new and better life in America, the land which we now call the United States had become the home of immigrants, albeit with the reluctant permission of the true Americans who were referred to as "natives" or Indians.
The first "pilgrims" to come to America were illegal immigrants. Since then, the United States of America has become home to immigrants and will continue to be home to immigrants. By virtue of the pilgrims' adventure, all migrants to the United States are, in reality, illegal.
Mr. Trump's rhetoric sounds nice but is nevertheless plain poppycock. First, a wall across a nation's borders will not stop migration, legal or illegal, and will only be costly and a burden to society. Second, we need to enforce our laws – but the proper enforcement of laws is a matter of good government and not of matter of enacting more laws. Finally, who says the United States government's policy is not to serve its citizens and serve them well?
Mr. Trump spews a bunch of dangerous rhetoric. His talk is so divisive and extremist that he may be leading the country into a dangerous path. Mr. Trump's chants are rebellious, seditious, mutinous and insurgent to say the least.
There is nothing wrong with "amnesty, cheap labor and open borders." The United States of America became a great nation because of its open borders and the influx of immigrants – legal and illegal. Mr. Trump's own parents were the very type of immigrants that Mr. Trump derides.
In this new, modern world the laws on migration – rules that control the movement of people between national boundaries – should be more pragmatic. A nation's geographic boundaries should only define that country's physical size and location and not be a deterrent to the free movement of men and their commerce.
Market, political and social forces should be the exclusive determinant of where people live and work. A country may be populated by two types of people: its citizens and its immigrants. A nation's citizens are those that determine the nation's course and elect the nation's leaders. Only citizens may receive assistance from their government and society. Immigrants are those that come to help run the nation's industry and commerce for employment and a living. When immigrants cease to be productive members of society, they must leave the host country.
In the new world, the modern world, people must be free to move about as they please, as long as wherever they are they become gainfully employed and are not otherwise a burden to society.
For a man whose mother was an immigrant and whose father was the son of an immigrant, Mr. Trump's anti-immigrant stance is mind-boggling. His mother, Mary McLeod, came to the US from Scotland in 1930 and married the son of a German immigrant, Fred Trump. Based on his own 'principles', Mr. Trump is not and cannot be a US citizen, unless he can prove that his parents picked him from among New York's native Abenaki and Cayuga tribes.
Hopefully, Mr. Trump will find it in his heart to want to unite the people of this country in a common effort to improve life and the general well-being of all its population – all the people – without having to pound on a part of that population that he so insidiously dislikes.
When he gets to do that, we'll be willing to concede that Mr. Trump's hair is real.

An HR department is a vital department in any company. In the case of hiring and firing staff, the HR department knows the ins and outs of all the roles – the duties, schedules, and expectations of the job itself and of the area the particular person would be working in. They'll tell, when interviewing, whether or not the individual's personality and abilities may very well be simply integrated into the corporate's work place, and the place the person's abilities could be finest used.
It might be one factor for you to say, "this is a nice package, and everyone will benefit from it by being more productive." It will be totally one other for those who may demonstrate how within the first two years this package will save 1 hour every week of time per employee throughout the corporate, and the way that one hour a week interprets into $1,000,000 of wage.
This department tries to avoid wasting the borrower from a foreclosure or bankruptcy, because it is a enormous blot not solely on an individual's credit score report, however the monetary establishment also has to experience an enormous burden of the entire course of.
There are many companies which have large problems due to the lack of communication: if the employer doesn't know if and why its workers are unsatisfied, certain problems may appear and these issues might affect the company's productivity and performance.
Subsequent in line is that by not providing these additional services stage your service techs are robbing your dealership of not only gross sales and resultant profits but in addition the creation and upkeep of the high quality status of your auto dealership and its service department.

An Irish teenager is travelling to the US this week for her ground breaking treatment.

Robyn Smyth (13), from Whitehall in Dublin, has been fighting the aggressive cancer, neuroblastoma, since the age of three, will become the first Irish person to be admitted on to a treatment trial in New York.
Her mum Bernadette raised €326,000 for her daughter's medical treatment after an emotional appeal for help from the public.
Robyn has already undergone extensive treatment in Ireland, but she was accepted on to the new trial at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York. She was accepted following two good scans at the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in Michigan.
Bernadette said: "We reached the magic mark of having enough money to pay for the ground breaking trial treatment over the weekend and all of the family can't put into words how grateful and relieved we are."
"My head was spinning at the thought of getting Robyn this far and not being able to get her on the trial that could potentially put an end to this monster. We don't know what the future holds but because of you we have hope.
However, Bernadette added: "We are all so relieved but worried too. After we make the upfront payment to the hospital then there will be no money left.
"So I'm pleading with people to keep donating as there will be non stop flight and living costs while in the US. Obviously we will be using up as much as our personal finances as well.
"I've come this far for my daughter who doesn't know what it's like to live a life without sickness and I'll fight and fight to keep her with us. She deserves to have a life but she's so fragile right now.
"Our flight on Wednesday can't come half soon enough. The hospital's medical team will meet with Robyn on Thursday so we are really hoping they are optimistic about how everything will go for Robyn.
"Robyn's health battles have obviously affected our family on every level over the years and it hasn't been easy but it's made us strong too and we will never give up on her."
Up until last month fundraising had stalled and just €70,000 had been raised. The plea led to Erin McGregor, sister of UFC king Conor, starting a floss dance challenge in a desperate bid to help save Robyn's life whom she has been secretly helping.
The brave teenager was given just a 30 per cent chance of surviving when she was first diagnosed with cancer at Our Lady's Hospital in Crumlin.
Three years ago, Robyn's chances of survival dropped to five per cent and her family were told to bring her home to die. But her family decided to fundraise to take her to US based Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in Michigan.
In between her visits to the US, of which she has been on more than 80 flights since 2015, Robyn continues to take chemotherapy tablets and has blood tests and other related treatment at Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children in Crumlin.
"Donations can be made on robynslife@live.com, idonate.ie/robynslife and gofundme.com/robynslife," added Bernadette.

One of a number of shiny new hybrids populating the Chicago Auto Show was the 2012 BMW Active Hybrid 5. Considering how much I usually don't like BMWs (unless we're talking about their electric scooter), my initial impression of this one was actually pretty positive.
I mean, there are a number of points to be happy about – it's well proportioned, it makes that pastel blue look like a sane color choice for a car (why, no, I do not like pastels), it looks like it's got room in the trunk without the rear end being weirdly huge… And of course there's that "active hybrid" thing.
So far so good, right? But then it started going a little pear-shaped. The Active Hybrid 5 is pretty, and it's quick, but despite the electric assist, it's kind of low on the green scale. Carbon dioxide emissions are disappointing to say the least – between 149 and 163 g/km, depending on the wheels, well above the stated EU goal of below 120 g/km for all new cars – and mileage is quite frankly astonishing for a hybrid. And when I say astonishing, I mean 20mpg city and 29mpg highway. That's comparable to, oh, the Dodge Challenger (which we hopped into for a ride – more on the ride-alongs later), known for its total non-greenness.
Oh, and the base MSRP is over $60,000.
The final verdict on the Active Hybrid 5? If you're looking for clean and green, this one is not for you. If you're a BMW or performance enthusiast looking for something that performs well and is just green enough to assuage your conscience, then go for it. Either way, scroll down to the gallery. It's not cute, but it is super pretty and well worth a look.

It helps you save 50% of your bill payment and approval time, and helps you get paid 2-3 times faster with ACH and credit cards. Bill.com also syncs with your choice of Quickbooks Online, Intacct, and Xero for the seamless transfer of all data for your receivables and payables. Moreover, if you connect it with Tallie, you can choose to have both your reimbursable and non-reimbursable expenses sent to Bill.com after you submit your expense report. Get those expenses reimbursed faster!
Tallie version 10.7 is out now!
We just released version 10.7 of Tallie! Some of the highlights of this release included updates to our Intacct integration, credit card improvements, export and UI enhancements, and other general product improvements. Expense reports just got that much better.
Tune in next week for Tallie's weekly roundup of accounting and technology news!


By tying substances like this in knots, the researchers hope to understand how their intricate configurations and unique properties can be harnessed in the next generation of advanced materials and photonic devices.
Liquid crystal is an essential material in modern life – the flat panel displays on our computers, TVs and smartphones all make use of its light-modulating properties.
It is composed of long, thin, rod-like molecules which align themselves so they all point in the same direction. By controlling the alignment of these molecules, scientists can literally tie them in a knot.
To do this, they simulated adding a micron sized silica particle – or colloid – to the liquid crystal. This disrupts the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules.
For example, a colloid in the shape of a sphere will cause the liquid crystal molecules to align perpendicular to the surface of the sphere, a bit like a hedgehog's spikes.
Using a theoretical model, the University of Warwick scientists have taken this principle and extended it to colloids which have a knotted shape in the form a Möbius strip.
A Möbius strip with one twist does not form a knot, however with three, four and five twists it becomes a trefoil knot (like an overhand knot with the ends joined together), a Solomon's knot or a cinquefoil knot respectively.
By adding these specially designed knotted particles they force the liquid crystal to take on the same structure, creating a knot in the liquid crystal.
Gareth Alexander, Assistant Professor in Physics and Complexity Science, at the University of Warwick said: "Knots are fascinating and versatile objects, familiar from tying your shoelaces.
"Recently it has been demonstrated that knots can be created in a variety of natural settings including electromagnetic fields, laser light, fluid vortices and liquid crystals.
"These knots are more intricate than those in your shoelaces, since it is the entire continuous material, and not just a piece of string, that is knotted.
"Our research extends this previous work to apply to liquid crystal, the substance we use every day in our TVs, smartphones and computer screens.
The study, published in the journal PNAS, is entitled Knots and nonorientable surfaces in chiral nematics and is authored by Thomas Machon and Gareth Alexander, both jointly based in the Department of Physics and the Centre for Complexity Science at the University of Warwick.


While Simulations getting bigger and bigger, management of all requests and responses in the VSE-Image is very difficult and confusing (see image-01). For example: If you have many requests and you have to delete an unneeded request, the identification of the corresponding request is not very easy. Is there a trick how to give a request a "Name"?
There is just a ID for the identification (changing when new generated). Is there a way to deposite a comment for each request or/and response?
Any ideas? Best practices? Hope everything was as far as understandable.
An approach I have used in the past is to add a Use Case description to each transaction so developers and testers could quickly identify their response scenarios.
It is up to you to decide whether or not this approach is viable given your specific requirements. For example, if you need to use learning mode, the approach may not be viable because Live Systems do not contain the argument, explained below, in the Live Response.
When a transaction enters a VSM, most services immediately parse the incoming transaction to construct a set of arguments used in the response selection process. We can extend this concept by adding an argument whose sole purpose is to provide a description of the Use Case scenario for those individuals that need to look at a VSI to determine response Use Cases.
1) Add an additional argument to the request.
Place a use case description of your choosing into the arg list. The VSI is going to override the value of the argument you add, so we don't care what the description value is at this point.
You can add logic such as 'If the operation is "XYZ", add the argument, else skip adding the argument" to achieve your specific requirements.
Manually add the argument to each operation.
3) In the VSI, set your argument for each operation to compare on ANYTHING so the argument does not participate in any comparisons. You can use the Mass Change process to do this after adding the argument to each Operation's META.
4) Edit the Value associated with your argument to reflect the Use Case that each specific response applies to. Your value is freeform so as the Use Cases change, so can the description.
Now, the response Use Case is easily identifiable for each transaction in the VSI.
Here is an example VSI. The associated VSM has the Scriptable DPH to add the argument called DevTestUseCase using the code above.
Even we same concern .. the biggest limitation here is we cant find/search/query a transaction in Workstation - VSI section.. we have recently migrated a legacy stubs into LISA .. where number of transactions from stub to LISA is more than 500 .. So now users wants to search their record using some kind of search method but no option to search inside VSI.. (though you can see some kind FIND option it wont help you at all in any way) .. I have raised a support ticket as well. It would be good feature in terms of devtest product being used heavily in some cases..
Ok, looks like I have to move to a feature request! Is there any response / statement of CA regarding this question?
Thanks for you detailed answer Joel.
Hmm, I really hoped that there will be a "better" solution. I'm quite not happy to add fake arguments to all request / responses. I think that there is no better solution out there at the moment (if yes I'm still very interested in :-)) Maybe the data-driven approach in excel would be a more supportable / maintainable solution - any experiences?. Thanks again for the response.
You will not get an argument from me RE adding args. It is a decision that each team must make based on their desired outcome(s). Data driven approaches externalize the data, but may or may not adequately document service behaviors.
I believe it would be good for you to create an Idea for the product team's review.
If one considers the CA solutions (ARD, TDM, DevTest, RA, etc) as an integrated DevOps ecosystem, it seems reasonable to document service behavior at the use case flow / coverage level (e.g., ARD). Perhaps, this documentation flows down into each asset. CA is improving this ecosystem in each respective product release.
Meanwhile, perhaps someone else will chime in with other alternatives.

Allendale, NJ—The internationally acclaimed Leica Oskar Barnack Award photographic competition announced submission dates for 2018. From March 1st through April 5th, professional photographers and up-and-coming photographers up to 25 years old may submit entries for the 38th Leica Oskar Barnack Award online. Last year's competition attracted more than 2,700 entries from 104 countries.
The competition, which offers photographers the opportunity to have a light shine on their work, calls for the submission of a self-contained series of photographs—between 10 and 12 images. With the series, the photographer must perceive as well as document the interaction between man and the environment in a creative and groundbreaking style.
The winners in both categories of the 38th Leica Oskar Barnack Award will be flown to Germany for a formal ceremony. In Berlin, they will be presented their awards in front of hundreds of influential people in the photography community.
With prizes amounting to a total cash value of nearly $100,000, the Leica Oskar Barnack Award provides photographers significant resources to continue pursuing their passion. In addition, for younger photographers, it presents an opportunity to jump-start their professional photography careers.
The winner in the main category will be presented a cash prize of approximately $30,000. Moreover, this winner will receive Leica M-system equipment, a camera and lens, valued at an additional $12,000.
Moreover, a cash prize of approximately $12,000 will be awarded to the winner of the Newcomer Award. This winner will also receive a Leica rangefinder camera and lens. In addition to the two main categories, 10 other competition submissions will also each receive a prize of $3,000.
Moreover, the portfolios entered by all finalists will be displayed on the leica-oskar-barnack-award.com website. They will also be included in the magazine published specially for the competition.
A series of photographs captured in 2017/2018 is eligible for submission. Also, work from long-term projects that includes at least one photograph made in this time frame are eligible. Furthermore, the photographs do not have to be captured with a Leica camera to be considered.
Entry forms and the terms and conditions of entry will be available at leica-oskar-barnack-award.com beginning March 1, 2018.

`compound` is one of the three relations in UD for compounding.

It is used for

- any kind of X0 compounding: noun compounds (e.g., *phone book*), but also verb and
adjective compounds that are more common in other languages (such as
Persian or Japanese light verb constructions). It is also used for the "phrasal verb" construction of European languages (e.g., *throw up*), with the adposition as the `compound` dependent of the verb.

~~~ sdparse
Phone book
compound(book, Phone)
~~~

- for numbers

~~~ sdparse
I have four thousand sheep
compound(thousand, four)
~~~

~~~ sdparse
I lost $ 3.2 billion
compound(billion, 3.2)
~~~

- for particles of phrasal verbs:

~~~ sdparse
put up
compound(put, up)
~~~

The two other compounding relations are:

- [mwe]() for fixed grammaticized expressions with function words
- [name]() for proper nouns constituted of multiple nominal elements

Lakewood hires its first-ever Orthodox Jewish police cadet
Updated Feb 28, 2019; Posted Feb 28, 2019
Lakewood has hired its first-ever Orthodox police cadet. A Lakewood officer and Orthodox men are shown here at the scene of a fire in November 2018. (Ed Murray | NJ Advance Media)
By Steve Strunsky | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
With an Orthodox Jewish community making up most of Lakewood's rapidly growing population, the township has hired its first-ever Orthodox police cadet, officials said.
"I'm excited about it," Lakewood Mayor Ray Coles said Thursday.
"I think it's significant for any community to see one of your own patrolling the streets, making sure everyone is safe," said Coles. "It's a very positive thing, especially for the young people in town."
Lakewood Police Chief Gregory Meyer said the Orthodox officer and other members of the cadet class who graduate from the six-month academy program could hit the streets in about 10 months, or sometime around the end of 2019 or start of 2020, following additional departmental training.
Coles and Meyer said the 13-member cadet class is among the most diverse ever in the department's history.
The Orthodox cadet's hiring was first reported by The Lakewood Scoop, but the report was quickly picked up by Jewish publications well beyond New Jersey, including Baltimore Jewish Life and The Jerusalem Post, thanks to Lakewood's status as one of the nation's fastest-growing Orthodox communities.
Lakewood's Orthodox population keeps growing. We talk to a rabbi about why, and what it means.
Rabbi Aaron Kotler, CEO of Beth Madrash Gohova yeshiva, talks about Lakewood's growing Orthodox population.
The rapid influx of Orthodox residents from Brooklyn and around the world to the Ocean County township has presented challenges. They include funding issues for the local public school system, thanks to transportation and special education costs associated with Orthodox children, who overwhelming attend private yeshivas.
But tensions have also arisen related to rapid residential development in Lakewood and, more recently, to surrounding communities, to accommodate the new arrivals.
Meyer provided a list of the new recruits that identified them by name, but not religion.
Apart from an Orthodox Jewish community that makes up about two-thirds of the township's 100,000-plus residents, Lakewood also has a substantial Hispanic population, and the list of cadets included several with Hispanic surnames.

Recently in the past day or two, I have had a stream of BSOD, all with random numbers, I have attached a log to this post below.
I have a lot of files who are stored into folders (~ 2-3K worth of folders with 2-20 files in each folder) and I need to search in each one to see if there are any files that are similar in name. None will be exactly the same so I need to only compare the first 10 characters and if there are 2 files that have the same characters, then I need to have them displayed so I can decide if I should delete one. The problem with commercial duplicate detectors is they match the entire name or the CRC of a file which in this case will be different.
I like to use a few ASCII characters in emails and letters. Like registered trade mark or cent symbol, etc. Sometimes even the happy face. Using Win XP I would use the Alt key plus a number. Now when I do that, nothing happens. How do I access these characters using Win 8.1?
how to change the font in windows 8.1.
I want windows opens with the font "Georgia" but I do not know how.
I have written a Chinese character on the touch keyboard but I can't seem to copy it so I can paste it elsewhere such as a search engine.
How do I copy Chinese characters from the Touch Keyboard to paste elsewhere such as search engines?
What I need to do to search for this string?
It seems like Windows 8 ignores just about all non-alphanumeric characters when searching.
If I can't search within files for a simple string like the above I'm screwed!
I am using a hotmail account for an account, but it is 8 character password, and I would like it to be shorter than that so that i can use it pretty conveniently. how can i do this?
I have a number of special fonts (all are .ttf) that I installed, and some that came with software for use with the programs. All of these fonts worked fine when installed on my Windows 7 64-bit computer.
I have installed all of these fonts on my Windows 8 64-bit computer, and some of the characters on the fonts do not show. Windows has substituted other characters in place of these.
Yet when I open the font in a third party program like Font Creator, all of the characters on the font appear true.
Is there a setting in Windows 8 that I need to adjust so the characters will show as they are supposed to?
Some files, when open with notepad, can be easily read in English. For other ones, I get characters. How could I read these characters, is there any online translator for this? or I should learn basic C++ or other means?
But I'm afraid there is not a setting in Windows 8 to get this done. Okay, then I handle the programs seperately! Until Windows 8 I could always rightclick a shortcut, then get "Properties", then I chose "Maximized". But to my unpleasant surprise I only get the latest documents (Which is very handy indeed!), and a choice to "Loosen the program of the taskbar".
I cannot seem to get the "taskbar and navigation properties" pane, only the "taskbar properties" pane. I am running as administrator and have upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 on a new laptap that I have just purchased, but am still having trouble getting the "taskbar and navigation properties" when I right click the taskbar.
The "taskbar properties" only gives me three tabs ie. taskbar, jump lists and properties, but I need to access the navigation tab on the "taskbar and navigation properties" pane.
Just as it says, if I right click on "Properties" in My Computer and try to pull up the System Information sheet, the whole desktop shuts down and then re-opens.
I am running an AMD Athlon 4400+, overclocked 7%. I am going to set it back to 5% and see if this continues.
I am the sole user of the desktop PC. And that I have another PC at another place with same configuration also running Win 8 64-bit. On that PC for the same file I see more details on the screen and I can edit the fields. I might post the capture from that PC later when I go there. I also ran the mp3Tag to get over the possible issue with ID3 tags.
1. When selecting multiple files in the Recycle Bin at once and then right click and choose Properties. Selecting only one file in the recycle bin and clicking Properties does work normally.
2. When right clicking on a picture that is shown with Windows Photo Viewer and then choosing Properties.
Are these bugs that Microsoft developers might have missed or is my PC at fault here? I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro x64 with Medica Center.
I have just recently acquired a brand new laptop running Windows 8, and I'm experiencing an issue with editing the details of MP3 files. I can right-click any MP3 to open its properties and access the Details tab, but when I click on the fields for the different tags, nothing happens.
I don't recall ever having this issue on my previous laptop with Windows Vista, so I'm at loss trying to understand what is going on here. I'm not very tech savvy about the subject of permissions and accessibility, but it doesn't really seem to be related to that. The files are listed under my local user directory.
From yesterday I am facing a strange problem : I am getting a error whenever taking "Properties" of any drive. Right Click to any drive -> properties.
It's showing "The properties for this item are not available".
I am unable to access system properties of my windows 8 pro. When i right click on My Computer icon and click Properties, System Properties window open for a second and immediately closes. I have the same problem even if i try to open System Properties from Control Panel.
I found out that, It's the windows update KB2871389..i uninstalled it from Windows update and "system properties" now ok.
I have a simple shortcut file (.lnk) which I want to make "Always run as administrator", but I can't see the compatibility tab?
Virtually every file shows read only when I right click on it and choose properties. In uncheck read only, then click apply and choose applies to all subfolders and files. Windows appears to change the properties (a window opens up and a green progress bar fills). But if I click OK and close properties, when I look at properties again, they are shown as read only again.
This happens both when I am logged in under my user name, as well as if I log in as administrator.
The only difficulty it's created so far was when attempting ti embed a cover art JPG into an MP3 file in my music library.
I am trying to import my contacts to the phone, which I gather can be done with a bluetooth connection via some sort of PIM that the bluetooth software recognizes. For the life of me I can't find any explicit reference to any particular PIM software that the Windows 8 bluetooth Properties dialog recognizes. Or, have I misunderstood the capabilities here? Do I have to buy and install Outlook?
I am unfortunately using Thunderbird as email & contact manager, but I've exported my contacts via .csv in the past so If I can find the appropriately compatible PIM for Windows 8 Bluetooth I think I can muddle through.
I have an interesting issue in the windows 8 metro menu. When I right click an icon you normaly get a properties bar pop up on the bottom where you can change tile size, pin to start etc. This bar is no longer appearing.
In Windows 7 the mouse properties sheet had a "wireless" status tab. The PC also warned when the signal was low.
Neither of these items is available in Windows 8, using the Keyboard Center latest software. Is something missing?
How to change Windows 8 Logo in the System Properties?
I did a very successful overclock, taking my processor from 3.3 Ghz to 4.7 Ghz. I can verify that in CPU-Z but it's not showing up in Windows Systems properties. What do I have to do for Windows to recognize the overclock?


Welcome to Readers' Workouts where bookish types get in touch with our athletic sides. Let's cheer each other on to exercise success!
My goals for July were 1400 minutes of exercise including 15 workouts with my Wii. In each week's report, I've been ahead on one and behind on the other. So, I'm very proud today that I'm right on track to meet both goals! I had a lot of variety in the last week — a couple of good gardening sessions (one that involved hauling wood) and several Wii sessions. We're back in a heat wave again, but if I get out early enough, I can still get my gardening work done.
How was your week? What are your plans for the coming week? Post on your blog (feel free to grab the logo) and link below or simply join us in the comments.
I like your idea of keeping track of the minutes exercised. I think I am going to borrow it for the upcoming week.
Great job. Hauling wood is hard work.
Getting back on track is the best feeling! I'm in the same boat today so I know how you feel 🙂 And oh, yes, the heat wave is back, which I can't imagine hauling wood in it! Glad you can schedule it during cooler hours, that's for sure.
I've had a good week – managed to increase my furthest distance ever run. We have a heat wave here… shouldn't complain after the dreadful load of rain we've been having I suppose.
Variety is a great thing to keep you motivated — great job this week!
Nice going!! I've been slacking off lately so reading your post has motivated me to "get back in the groove." For me the key is getting up very early or I miss the window of opportunity.

The Souls of Black Folk

"The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line," writes Du Bois, in one of the most prophetic works in all of American literature. First published in 1903, this collection of fifteen essays dared to describe the racism that prevailed at that time in America—and to demand an end to it. Du Bois' writing draws on his early experiences, from teaching in the hills of Tennessee, to the death of his infant son, to his historic break with the conciliatory position of Booker T. Washington. Du Bois received a doctorate from Harvard in 1895 and became a professor of economics and history at Atlanta University. His dynamic leadership in the cause of social reform on behalf of his fellow blacks anticipated and inspired much of the black activism of the 1960s. The Souls of Black Folk is a classic in the literature of civil rights.

"Thanks to W. E. B. Du Bois' commitment and foresight—and the intellectual excellence expressed in this timeless literary gem—black Americans can today look in the mirror and rejoice in their beautiful black, brown, and beige reflections." —Amazon.com, editorial review
"[A] masterpiece." —Booklist
"One hundred years after publication, there is in the entire body of social criticism still no more than a handful of meditations on the promise and failings of democracy in America to rival William Edward Burghardt Du Bois's extraordinary collection of fourteen essays." —David Levering Lewis, from the introduction
Author Bio: W. E. B. Du Bois
William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (1868–1963) was a sociologist, historian, novelist, activist, and one of the greatest African American intellectuals. His astounding career spanned the nation's history from Reconstruction to the civil rights movement. Born in Massachusetts and educated at Fisk, Harvard, and the University of Berlin, he penned his epochal masterpiece, The Souls of Black Folk, in 1903. It remains his most studied and popular work; its insights into black life at the turn of the century still ring true.

Q: How can I run postgres under root user? official advice to run postgresql unser a separate user account, with no root privilege.
but, there is a embedded system only with root user. How can I run postgresql in root?

A: You cannot, unless you modify the PostgreSQL source.
Even on an embedded system you should be able to create another user.  Otherwise, don't use PostgreSQL – but running any other database as root is also unnecessarily dangerous.


Kenya Export Floriculture, Horticulture and Allied Workers Union has expressed concern over the high job losses in the floriculture sub-sector.
The union pointed at Karuturi flower farm in Naivasha where more than 3,000 workers were laid off, noting that one year down the line the former employees were yet to get their dues.
As a result of events at the troubled farm, it noted, hundreds of families have been adversely affected, one leading health centre nearby closed and levels of education affected.
The concerns were raised when the union's executive committee met for the first time at a Naivasha hotel after the Employment and Labour Relations Court directed the Registrar of Trade Unions to register the new body.
Addressing the press, Secretary-General David Omulama admitted that the sub-sector faced various challenges but was quick to note that this could be addressed without industrial unrest.
"We are committed to addressing the plight of workers which include low payment, casualisation of labour, long working hours and poor working conditions," he said.
He said none of the workers from Karuturi had received their benefits, adding that the farm could be reopened if there was goodwill from the government and the courts. "It is emerging statutory deductions were not remitted meaning workers have lost nearly all their savings for over 20 years," he said.


River cruising holidays. Helping Dreamers Do.
Ideal for those who want to see landscapes from a fresh perspective, river cruising holidays often take you into remote spots, mooring alongside fishing villages, ancient temples or stretches of rainforest where roads don't reach. As you cruise, you get to learn about life on and offer the river banks – both human and otherwise. Cruises are also often on traditional houseboats, for example: the dahabiya on the Nile, or the famous rice barges of India.

Father DiMattei to add St. Rose of Lima to duties
Father Robert A. DiMattei, pastor of St. Athanasius in Curtis Bay, is in the midst of a St. Rose of Lima parish crash course.
Following the retirement of St. Rose's pastor, Father Joseph M. O'Meara, Father DiMattei will also shepherd the Brooklyn cornerstone starting Jan. 1.
Father DiMattei said St. Rose's challenges include "a decline in parish families and in school enrollment."
"The future of the parish depends on its ability to evangelize, broaden its perspectives and call others to community," he said.
Xaverian Brother Bill Griffin, formerly of Mount St. Joseph High School, will serve as St. Rose's pastoral associate.
"After meeting with Brother Bill, I knew that God had sent me a gift," Father DiMattei said.
Each parish will maintain their individuality, while sharing staff members. Serving both parishes will be a challenge for Father DiMattei.
"The laity must come forward and realize they, too, by their baptism, have a role in ministry and in the success and survival of their parishes," he said.
Daily 8 a.m. Mass for both parishes will be at St. Athanasius starting Jan. 2. St. Rose Saturday Masses will be at 5:30 p.m., while Sunday will be at 9:15 a.m.
Father DiMattei said the parish school will remain St. Rose's responsibility, while adding that principal Madeleine Hobik and her faculty "are extremely dedicated and give 100 percent to the school and its students."
Father DiMattei said his ministerial approach is fundamental.
"I believe in seeing Christ in everyone I meet and in creating an atmosphere and parish where all are welcomed," he said.
Father DiMattei served as associate pastor of Towson's Immaculate Conception Parish from 1991 to 1996 and St. Jane Frances de Chantal in Pasadena from 1996 to 2000. In early 2000, he was made temporary administrator of St. Athanasius and pastor later that year.
Baptized at Baltimore's St. Wenceslaus, Father DiMattei attended St. Elizabeth of Hungary School, Our Lady Queen of Peace School in Middle River, Archbishop Curley High School in Baltimore and Towson University.


It's a deep oxblood red perfect for sporting on New Year's Eve! The shade is really pretty, dark, intense and gives that wintery feeling so would look really classy with any outfit specially if you are wearing a black or a burgundy dress.
Bridal sensation is a bright red polish. It's a perfect red for Indian weddings and so for the New Year's Eve if you are looking for a bright red to match with your outfit.
Royal red is a deep red burgundy but not that intense as bordeaux. It's a red that fits between bordeaux (a lil less red than bordeaux) and a lil more red than bridal sensation.
Red with glitters- perfect combo for the New Year's Eve! If you are both into glitters and red then the right shade for you is Red Carpet from the glitter mania range of Maybelline.
And for the Gold I've selected 3 different nail polish with different finish and formula. First is the Maybelline Colorshow Bold Gold- a bold metallic gold, gives such a festive feeling. Bold Gold would look perfect when paired with a black outfit, golden or a silver outfit. Streetwear Color Rich All You Need– a bit different from the Bold Gold, this nail shade has a glossy finish with some shimmers, so if you are looking for a glossy finish gold with tiny bit of shimmers in it then you'll love this shade. Maybelline Glitter Mania All that Glitters– not the metallic gold like the Bold Gold but is sure a beautiful gold with glitters. Can be paired with any colored outfit for that classy New Year's look.
Though red and gold are the colors in my mind for this New Year but I'm also adding glittery black and a silver shade in this list as I also couldn't resist from sharing these 3 shades with you all. The one awesome shade you would love sporting on New Year's Eve celebration is L'oreal Color Riche Le Vernis Glitter Flaming Sunset which is a classy black with big chunky gold glitter particles, such a perfect shade for the holiday and party season. The other glittery black shade is from Maybelline Glitter Mania range- Starry Nights. This glittery black is a black with silver glitter particles, the glitters are not that big as the L'oreal Flaming Sunset polish but it's a gorgeous glittery black! And the last shade for the New Year's Eve is Silver Sensation from Streetwear– a lovely glossy finish silver shade perfect for pairing up with your silver shimmery outfit!
My New Year Mani would be L'oreal Color Riche Flaming Sunset as I'm in love with this shade and I know I can rock it with any outfit as I haven't yet decided my outfit for the New Year's Eve celebration! Love the big chunky gold glitters in this shade, gives such a celebration feel.
What mani are you sporting on the New Year's Eve Girls?
Nice collection dear, but i was waiting for the swatches.
I loved revlon bordeaux!! Such a stunning winter shade!
What fun colors! They are the perfect shades for a little holiday fun. I really like the gold colors. Very pretty.
I am drooling over ur np collection <3 I really need to check street wear!
What a coincidence – all the nail paints you have picked are my favorite and I currently own them :) Great List!

Photographer Deana Lawson, born in 1979 in Rochester New York, is the recipient of the 2020 Hugo Boss Prize, the Guggenheim announced today. The New York-based artist is the first photographer ever to be awarded the prize.
Lawson is known for staging complex and intimate tableaux that focus on scenes of Black life, venerating the commonplace and celebrating her subjects. She carefully stages the lighting and position of her subjects, working in collaboration with them to create what she describes as a "mirror of everyday life."
Lawson's work has been exhibited at the Underground Museum, Los Angeles, the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, and Amsterdam's Museum voor Fotografie. Her first museum survey will open in 2021 at the ICA Boston.
"Lawson is the first artist working in photography to be recognized with the award in its history," Richard Armstrong, director of the Guggenheim Museum and Foundation said in a statement, "and her contribution to the medium and the larger cultural landscape is indelible."
In light of the difficult economic circumstances many artists are facing in this extraordinary year, for the first time since its creation, each of the five shortlisted artists will receive a $10,000 honorarium. Those artists are Kevin Beasley, Elias Sime, Cecilia Vicuña, Adrián Villar Rojas, and Nairy Baghramian.

Sponsored by Hugo Boss and presented by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, the prize has been awarded biannually since 1996. In addition to a $100,000 purse, the winner also gets a solo exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Among the most prestigious awards within the contemporary art world, the prize's past winners include Matthew Barney, Pierre Huyghe, Tacita Dean, Danh Vo, Anicka Yi, and Simone Leigh.

On the pre-'90 (except for John V's '90 GT) cars, the speedometer/odo are driven by pulses from a reed switch in the differential cover, triggered by magnets in a ring mounted to the right axle drive flange.
FYI-There are 8 magnets on the diff. ring.
Speaking of this, I'm trying to find out if mine is an odd ball or it's Wally's car that is the odd ball ;) Anyone with a 90 please let me know if you have a magnetic diff.
>James R (keener) reports to me that the dif has 8 magnets on it - which hopefully implies 8 freq blips per 360 rotation. Thanks James!
A brown/red wire runs from the speedometer thru Terminal H1 to Terminal T1 to the speedometer sensor. A leaf switch in the sensor is operated by eight magnets on a ring attached to the ring gear of the differential. From the leaf switch, a brown wire runs to ground thru Terminal T2, then H2, then Terminal 11R, then 7R on the instrument panel.
No indication on the wiring diagram of what the voltage level from the speedometer is, but you should be able to tap a pulsed signal at H1 or T1. The signal, as you surmised, will be eight pulses per rear wheel revolution.
> Does anyone know the rate the pulse sensor for the speedo fires at? Is it picking up the teeth in the differential?
> Also, is the flywheel position sensor firing at TDC by any chance?
> I need VSS (vehicle speed sensor) and TDC inputs for a new ECM I'm working on.
> the speedo drive 78-89 the micro switch on the back of the dif housing is counting magnets imbedded in an aluminum ring there are 8 of them so it pulses 8 times for one revolution of the axle . The 1984 has no timing ring no tdc gap unless is is a Euro car.......you will need to use a trigger wheel on the front of the crank or mount one where the current distributor is fitted .
That works out to about 6500 pulses per mile, a little higher than I need but I think it'll work for the VSS input.
As to the second part of my question, I found the answer in the manual. From '84 on a TDC sensor is fitted in the bell housing and triggered by 2 pins in the intermediate plate. I can probably remove one pin and stimulate the sensor to provide the TDC pulse for my ECU. Anyone know what this sensor is (hall effect?) and what it takes to drive it?
The earlier differential "sensor" is a reed switch, operated by magnets set in an aluminum ring attached to the differential. Not sure, but I think that there are about eight magnets. The switch flips a 12 vdc circuit on (to ground) eight times per wheel revolution.
The later system uses the pulses from the ABS sensor - many more pulses, at a much lower voltage.
BTW - they only used the front wheel for a couple of years, then went to a rear wheel ABS sensor.
MY 92 Wheel sensor for the speed is on the left front wheel. MY 93 and after its on the rear Left.
There is a logical explanation for this. It was decided to use the ABS sensors on the rear wheel axle to see a spinning rear wheel and respond to that visually, seeing the speed at an unreasonable level, basically lost grip. If you hit the gas the wheels start spinning, and a 1992 will show a PSD active light n the dash, but a 1993 will also show a sudden increase in speed by the spinning left rear wheel.
