Vancouver-based company at the forefront of electric bikes and scooters

VANCOUVER — Elon Musk may be the commander-in-chief of the electric vehicle movement, but there are many foot soldiers in the trenches fighting the good fight. Vancouver's Steve Miloshev is one of them and in fact beat Musk, the Tesla Motors founder, into the business by a couple of years.
"I've been fascinated with [electric vehicle] technology for a long time," said the Bulgarian-born environmental engineer. "In 1999, I was sent to China by my [mining] company and it was there that I saw electric scooters and bicycles for the first time."
Intrigued, he brought a small electric scooter back home to Vancouver; during scooter rides around Yaletown and downtown, he was constantly stopped by people asking him about the scooter.
"What is that? Where did you get it?"
As fate would have it, Miloshev had a "falling out" with his boss around this time and, emboldened by the public's interest in that humble little electric scooter, combined with his passion for the technology, he began an import business bringing Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs) in from China to sell to Vancouverites. Under the company name Greenwit Technologies, he set out to leave his mark on the nascent LEV movement.
"I called Transport Canada and they told me if I wanted to sell [electric scooters] here, they would have to have pedals," he said. It took him some time to find an LEV with pedals in China, "but it looked like a hamster toy." Undeterred, he shipped one over, took it home, assembled it and when he connected the wiring, the thing took off on its own and put a hole in a wall of his house.
"And I thought, 'My God, is that what we're going to have to deal with?' It was a disaster."
He and wife Kati persevered, though, and in 2002 began to market their scooter by taking it to Vancouver parks on nice weekends to attract attention – which it did.
Around this time, Miloshev also began bringing in electric bicycles, but summed them up as "redundant."
"They had a heavy, lead-acid battery, which defeats the purpose," he said, explaining the benefit of any electric assist in the bikes was offset by their weight.
Nickel-cadmium-hydride batteries came next in electric bikes, but Miloshev said they weren't much better. Despite being lighter than lead-acid, they wore out quickly due to overheating.
Then came lithium-ion batteries, and just as they have been a game changer for electric cars — less weight, more power — they have unleashed a revolution of sorts in the electric bicycle industry. In 2015, regular bicycle sales in France grew by just 0.5 per cent, but electric bike sales grew by 32 per cent. True, regular bike sales in that country are just under three million per year compared to 77,500 electric bikes. But the increase in LEVs demonstrates the public, particularly one as discerning as French cyclists, is accepting of the technology.
"When I started with the [electric] bicycles, I went to bike shops and they said they didn't want to hear about electric bikes," Miloshev noted. "Today, there aren't many bike shops that don't offer electric bikes."
A selection of the electric bikes sold at Motorino EV.
Greenwit Technologies still imports electric scooters and electric bicycles from China, but has a much better handle on quality control and does some modifications once the two-wheelers arrive in its shop. They are sold under the Motorino EV brand out of Miloshev's West 2nd Avenue store of the same name.
Miloshev said what sets his products apart from many of his competitors is he offers a five-year warranty and has a full-service department on site with trained mechanics.
While European countries are embracing electric bicycles due to regulations governing LEVs in the European Union, electric scooters do not have the same appeal as they do here in Canada.
"In Europe, they are not popular because they do not have the 32-km/h category with a 500-watt motor that we have here, which is classified as a 'bicycle'. They only allow 25 km/h with a 250-watt motor," he explained. "We are lucky here in Canada because a 32-km/h limit is very practical for urban transportation."
That "bicycle" classification for Motorino EV's electric scooters and bicycles means riders don't need a driver's licence, insurance or to heed the rules of the road that govern motor cars. You can also park them on a sidewalk. But you do need to be 16 or older.
Miloshev said most of his scooter customers are commuters who are looking for inexpensive ways to get to and from work.
"We have a customer who lives in Richmond and works downtown and beats the bus," he said, adding "he also saves a lot in parking fees."
The full-charge range on the handful of Motorino EV scooters for sale is about 50 kilometres, but with upgraded batteries the range can be stretched all the way up to 100 km.
Charge time for the regular battery scooters is approximately seven hours on a regular 120-volt outlet. Electric bikes charge in about three hours.
Miloshev has been lobbying the city to install public charging stations for scooters and bikes, saying one 120-volt outlet can charge five bikes at a time.
His top-selling scooter is the XPd, which bears a striking resemblance to the Honda Ruckus, a 50-cc gas-powered motorcycle – not surprising as the scooter is built in the same Chinese factory as the Ruckus and shares the same platform. And the XPd does the Ruckus one better as it comes with standard hydraulic disc brakes, ABS and tubeless tires. In addition, everything on it is DOT-approved for a motorcycle.
One of the modifications Motorino EV offers on its scooters is a controller with three speed selections to provide the extra torque needed for hill ascents. The speed is still governed to 32 km/h, but the power boost allows the scooter to maintain speed up a steep grade. As Miloshev pointed out, "that's important in Vancouver."
The XPd sells for $2,550 with the cheapest Motorino EV scooter priced at $2,000 and the most expensive $2,700. Motorino EV bikes sell in the $1,800 to $3,000 range. The cheapest is a folding bike that Miloshev said is popular with boaters, and even a pilot customer of his. Weighing just 18 kilograms, it is available with a fitted bag for easy toting.
The top-of-the-line bicycle is a mountain bike-style ride with a battery built into the frame. The third and newest addition to the Motorino EV fleet is a cruiser-style bike, which arrived in the shop last month.
Motorino EV bikes have throttles, which aren't allowed on electric bikes in Europe, and provide a good boost when climbing a hill. But Miloshev cautioned electric bicycles aren't a lazy alternative to pedal power.
"The bike is still a bike. You still have to pedal it. If you don't want to pedal, you better buy a scooter," he explained. "The purpose of an electric bike is you have the power when you need it."
Conversely, despite having pedals, the scooters aren't designed for muscle power.
"The whole idea of a scooter is to not use the pedals. In fact, it's easier to push them than pedal if they run out of power."
It has been a long decade and a half of breaking into the LEV market, but Miloshev is confident most of the uphill slog is over and Motorino EV is poised for some good downhill running.
"The technology is moving so quickly right now; with the battery energy density getting higher and higher, the range and power is going up and the weight is going down," he said. "We're waiting for lithium batteries to become more like a commodity and the price to plunge. Sooner or later that will happen. Hopefully Elon Musk gets that mega battery factory built soon. He's my idol." Spoken like a good soldier.

Mark Latham 'filibusters' on NSW energy bill, forcing upper house to sit around the clock
Photograph: Dean Lewins/AAP
The New South Wales parliament has been forced to sit around the clock in a bid to pass a landmark energy bill which the One Nation MP Mark Latham is seeking to block by moving hundreds of mostly procedural amendments.
The Coalition's electricity infrastructure roadmap promises to cut power prices in NSW and decrease the state's reliance on coal-fired power generation by creating a $32bn private investment boom in renewables.
The bill sailed through the parliament's lower house with bipartisan support last week after the environment and energy minister, Matt Kean, managed to secure the support of both the opposition Labor party and the Liberals' Coalition partner, the Nationals.
But the bill hit an unexpected snag when it hit the upper house of the parliament after Latham announced he would move 249 amendments in an attempt to stop it passing before the end of the year.
Related: NSW promises to build more renewable energy than Victoria and Queensland combined
Dismissed as a stunt, or "the Legislative Council's version of a filibuster" by his opponents, many of Latham's amendments are minor and procedural. They include minor changes to the wording of various clauses, as well as statements about "recognising the particular importance of coal mining and coal-fired power stations" to the NSW Hunter Valley.
The government has indicated it will not support any of Latham's amendments but, with the government under pressure to pass the bill before the parliament rises for the final time this year on Friday, the upper house has been forced to sit around the clock to work through them.
"It's still Tuesday in the Legislative Council," one MP said on Wednesday morning.
Kean was wandering the halls of parliament after midnight on Tuesday, handing out fruit and mineral water to tired upper house MPs who have been forced to sit continuously to pass both the government's budget and the energy bill.
Because Latham has only four votes supporting him, MPs from the major parties and the Greens have adopted roster systems, allowing some to go home. By Wednesday morning the debate had resumed but there were still hundreds of amendments still to be debated.
The government has described its bill as a "once-in-a-generation opportunity" for industry in the state, which would turn NSW into a "global energy superpower".
Last week Kean said of Latham's amendments: "Delivering energy policy shouldn't be about partisan politics, it should be about delivering the best outcome for the people of this state.
"Any members of Parliament who don't support this bill are voting against jobs, cheaper electricity and the nation's future."

(AP) Giannis Antetokounmpo had 24 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists, and Donte DeVincenzo sparked a five-point sequence in the fourth quarter that helped the Milwaukee Bucks pull away for a 115-108 win over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night. The Bucks (11-6) were leading by just three points after a dunk by DeVincenzo, who followed with a steal and drew a flagrant foul on Kyle Lowry. After DeVincenzo made the two free throws, the Bucks took the ball out of bounds and Bryn Forbes nailed a 3-pointer to put the Bucks up 92-84 with 9:54 left.

'Super Drags' tackles homophobia with humor, glam
The Netflix Original's campy humor is endearing, but might not be for everyone.
By Emma Bennett | Published Nov. 13, 2018
For some reason, there aren't any events to display here.
Season 23 of ABC's "The Bachelor" begins with various shower scenes, wild backstories and more virgin jokes than one can count.
'The Bisexual' creates a sharp yet incomplete portrait of identity
'She-Ra and the Princesses of Power' is bright pop fantasy with big heart
'Medal of Honor' Review: Celebrating stories of unconditional sacrifice
This review contains spoilers for the show "Super Drags."
Among the monthly wave of Netflix arrivals and departures came Netflix Original "Super Drags," on Oct. 10. The Brazilian cartoon show, created by Paulo Lescaut, Anderson Mahanski and Fernando Mendonça, takes place in a fictional town ruled by an extremely homophobic mayor bent on ending homosexuality. The show's three main characters are gay men who, after transforming into drag versions of themselves, possess superpowers. Throughout the series, the trio faces off against the homophobic mayor and an evil drag queen on a mission to drain the LGBTQ community of their spirit.
The English version of "Super Drags" features "RuPaul's Drag Race" contestants Trixie Mattel (Champagne) and Shangela Laquifa Wadley (Donizete/Scarlet).
Before even being released, "Super Drags" faced many obstacles. Conservative groups such as The Christian Film and Television Commission opposed the show, claiming that "Super Drags" is "clearly geared towards young and vulnerable children" which is "driven by a 'politically correct' transvestite agenda and is chock-full of sexual innuendos that are completely inappropriate for young audiences." The commission even started a CitizenGo petition, which has received over 40,000 signatures. Such resistance has led to the show's creators placing a banner over the show's cover that reads, "Adults only, honey!"
From a purely political standpoint, "Super Drags" is making great progress in the field of diversity in media. Not only is the show heavily populated by LGBTQ characters, but characters of several gender identities, races and ethnicities. It also showcases these characters working together as a community and tackles topics prominent in the LGBTQ community such as fat-shaming through online dating and use of conversion therapy.
"Super Drags" breaks from the archetype of LGBTQ characters being downtrodden and unhappy by creating a show that the LGBTQ community can not only relate to, but find humor in.
As for the actual content of the show, it wasn't the best. It seemed that many of the jokes were just the same punchline or concept repeated over and over again, which got boring after a certain amount of time. However, the overall campiness of the show was endearing and the five 30-minute episodes were easy to binge watch within one day.
Fans of shows such as "RuPaul's Drag Race" and "Big Mouth" should definitely take the time to watch "Super Drags." However, those who do not like sexual innuendos and profanity should not, because that is what the majority of the show is composed of.

As lawyers and accountants chat over their coquilles St Jacques in La Capannina and bronzed yachtsmen of a certain age stroll along the marina, it looks as though nothing could disturb the calm of Jersey. But today "the peasants", as some of the residents cheerfully describe themselves, are revolting - in a rally in the Royal Square against a new tax which they claim will hurt the poor to benefit the fabulously wealthy.
"Jersey people tend not to demonstrate," said Suzette Hase, one of the organisers of the rally and of a petition which has been signed by around a fifth of the island's 90,000 population. "It's not a normal thing for them to do but they will if they think they are being ripped off."
The immediate cause of the demonstration is a plan to introduce a new goods and services tax (GST) which the States of Jersey government argues is essential to fill a "black hole" in the economy caused by their decision to cut income tax on companies to zero (10% on finance companies) in order to keep the island competitive with rival havens like the Isle of Man and the Cayman Islands. Attention on Jersey in the past has focused on famous tax exiles - Geoffrey Boycott, Alan Whicker, Jack Higgins, Gilbert O'Sullivan and Ian Woosnam - who pay a maximum of 20% on their income. But the bigger players by far are the companies which, between them, have more than £400bn in bank deposits and funds under administration in Jersey. The government is anxious that they should not depart.
"Better to get less tax from business than risk losing the finance industry altogether," is how the official government guide to the new tax puts it in its four-page supplement in the Jersey Evening Post this week. "Imposing a higher rate of tax on incomes would ... simply encourage the wealthy, who are also the most mobile, to move elsewhere." Instead, the 3% GST is being introduced.
The decision to bring in the tax was made by a majority of the island's representatives - 12 senators, 12 constables and 29 deputies - in April, and the chief minister, Frank Walker, is adamant the new tax is essential. "We have to fill that black hole and they are not offering any alternatives," he said of the protesters.
Residents say the concentration on the tax status of Jersey by its government has been to the detriment of the society. "Walker is a multimillionaire [he is the former publisher of the local newspaper] who has no concept of what it is like to struggle on a very small income," said John Heys, who spent 25 years in the RAF. "Now we have all our eggs in the finance basket and those people could just flap their wings and be off to Dubai. We used to have a thriving tourism industry but we've lost 30 or 40 hotels. I find what has happened here very depressing."
Mr Heys advocates the payment of death duties and development tax. "If this was France we would have had a revolution years ago."
Richard Murphy, an accountant and adviser to the organisation Tax Justice Network, said: "The tax exiles are a sad bunch but they are not the problem - that's the tax haven industry and their pressure to charge income tax on companies at zero per cent.
"The fact that the ordinary people of Jersey are going to have a rally is an indication that there is massive disquiet. These people are going to be paying a subsidy to ensure that people and companies who can really afford to pay their taxes do not have to. It's a case of tax the poor to support the rich in Jersey, and you can see why people are protesting."
The stakes were further upped this week when one former supporter of the tax who has changed his mind called for a referendum. Simon Crowcroft, a St Helier constable, said if the government believed it had carried out a proper consultation it should have nothing to fear from putting it to the vote.
"It is not over yet," said Alan Breckon. "We have to ask ourselves: are we, as a government, morally bankrupt when we are taxing pensioners on a loaf of bread?"

PODCAST | Matt Micucci interviews Mars Roberge, director of SCUMBAG from the 46th International Film Festival Rotterdam.
Drawing on his own personal experiences, asa DJ working in a telemarketing office in the 90's, Mars Roberge has made more than just a film: he has created a cinematic revolution. For and with SCUMBAG, he has, in fact, created a whole new genre, which he has named "rocktopia," and for which he drew up an entire manifesto. This interview also stands to show his passion and excitement for the film, which is a fun, funny, exciting, wild movie that has been called a "a dark, DIY, take-it-or-leave-it comedy with a musical pulse." The film is, in fact, certainly not formulaic and often unpredictable, breaking the rules and testing the limits of the cinematic medium in its own way. We get a real insightful behind the scenes talk about the experience of making the movie, of where the characters and situations of SCUMBAG came from, the importance of music in his vision, and much more.
SCUMBAG: A young hipster fights for his sanity as he joins a telemarketing company, full of crazy workers, ex-convicts and murderers. It's anarchy on the phone line and in this dark comedy on self-fulfilment under extreme conditions, showcasing a plethora of legendary faces from the US underground culture.


United States Attorney Brandon J. Fremin announced today that U.S. District Judge John W. deGravelles sentenced DUSTIN JACK MALONE, a 34-year-old resident of French Settlement, Louisiana, to 110 months in federal prison following his conviction of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The Court further sentenced Malone to 3 years of supervised release following his term of imprisonment. The Court also ordered that the firearm possessed by Malone be forfeited.
On September 7, 2017, East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff Deputies responded to a domestic dispute about a man with a gun at a residence. Shortly thereafter, Deputies conducted a traffic stop on a white pickup truck being driven by Malone and saw in plain view, a 12-gauge shotgun with a barrel of less than 17 inches within the reach of Malone.
This matter was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Lyman E. Thornton III.

As many of you may know, I teach about mushrooms. Foraging them, how to find them, growing them, and eating them. Recently, I've done a couple of classes on mushrooms, and have had a great response from clients who would like mushroom patches of their own. Often times in landscaping, there is that awkward space under the stairs, or a completely shady corner where nothing grows. Well, today is the day, folks. Stone Soup Gardens has been doing mushroom patches galore the last month or so, and we are thrilled to see such an abundance of soon-to-be-shrooms!
One project that I'm proud to share is in the Columbia City neighborhood, not far from my own awesome patch. These clients are near and dear to me because of their deep love of all things permaculture. Our fabulous designer, Jacqueline Kramer of Design Collaborators, created an amazing space full of northwest edibles. We built them a lovely hugelcultur bed, an herb spiral, and a lovely backyard patio with steps down to a gravel gathering space. We also inoculated an area under the stairs with turkey tail mushrooms, put birch bolete spores under the birch tree in the front yard, and added a sawdust patch for our clients to do their own experiments in mushroom cultivation.
In addition to all that wonderfulness, we were able to use all the materials we pulled out of the yard, to build the yard back up! This includes logs, branches, and sod for soil building for the hugelcultur bed. The best kind of recycling! The clients also had a mushroom class in their own yard so that they would know how to tend their new mushroom patches, what to look for when harvesting, how to harvest, and how to prepare the beds for winter.
Are you interested in growing mushrooms? Do you want to learn more about hugelcultur beds and soil building? Contact Stone Soup Gardens today. We would love to show you all the wonderful joys of our northwest climate!


An oil brush consists of three parts: a pen holder, a metal hoop and a bristle.
The quality of oil brushes depends on the hair of the brush.Great Big Canvas When buying brush, check whether the thickness of the brush is uniform and natural. It should not be trimmed.
Store-bought paintbrush hairs are usually glued together, and should not be spread out after being twisted by hand, and should be checked to see if the metal hoops are firm and have horizontal ripples.
Finally, see if the paintbrush in the hand is comfortable.
Oil brushes, if properly kept, can extend their life.
Brush should be cleaned in time after use, so as not to dry the paint on the brush,Big Canvas Art and should be cleaned thoroughly and sealed with paper when not in use for a long time.
(1) if it is not used for a short time, the paint remaining on the brush can be wiped off with cloth or paper, and then soaked in water after being cleaned with turpentine.
The other is used for the second cleaning.
(3) method of thorough cleaning.
After cleaning with turpentine, rub the pen with water or warm water on the soap (note: do not use boiled water,Large Canvas Art because the hot water damages the metal hoop of the brush).
The holder squeezes with the fingers or turns the bristles in the palm of the hand.
Repeat until the soap turns white.
Flush with clean water, straighten pen hair, with a bit of hard paper wrapped pen storage, to use after.
When cleaning the brush, the force should be moderate, otherwise easy to hurt the brush.
The liquid soap must be weak alkali soap (there is a special brush washing soap in foreign countries) to prevent the hair from hardening.
Can use silk wool scour, cannot use paint thinner absolutely, it can make pen wool because lose oily and embrittlement.
A short brush is usually discarded. If you heat a metal hoop over a flame and pull the brush out a little without changing the shape of the brush, you can extend the life of the brush, which is not only economical but also interesting.

The handsome Hollywood actor Avan Jogia's personal life is no less famous than his professional career. His good looks give every girl, younger or elder, chills every time his face and personality strike upon their minds.
This famous Canadian actor is best known for giving his appearance in the popular American television series Nickelodeon's Victorious. He is one of the biggest names on Instagram who has ninety percent of his followers as females.
Recently, he went through a traumatic breakup with her longtime girlfriend Zoey Deutch whom he was dating her for five years. This news has made the expectation of many girls stronger, now that he is out of a relationship every girl wants to be with Avan.
Even though, all of his fan followers are pretty thrilled about his personal life. So, come on! Let's find out.
Avan Jogia and Zoey Deutch broke up their five years long affair
It has been over three months that the news of Avan and Zoey's break up surfaced in the media and the news was a hard pill to swallow as they were together for five years. However, a source close to them revealed about their nonexistence relationship telling that;
they broke up four months ago and remain friends.
Though the public and media got so aware about the break up between this most loved couple, Avan, however, preferred to stay quiet about his split with the actress Zoey Deutch.
Here is a saying from Avan on the whole Break up issue;
Maybe I've been lucky, but I think that it's mostly a choice. I think if you continuously choose to court the public's attention to your relationship, you run the risk of asking them to pry more out of it, but it would also be a bit strange to totally ignore your significant other's existence in public as well.
He further added;
So just trying to find the line that's most comfortable is important. If you don't want to be a spectacle, don't make it show, and hopefully, mostly you'll be left alone.
On the other hand, Zoey followed the similar footstep of boyfriend and remained quiet on their break up issue.

Now, you guys might be wondering that how their 5 years long love affair began. So, we would first like you to know that it's still a mystery that when and how the couple first met and started dating.
However, the couple confirmed their relationship publicly in the year 2012 while attending the 2012 Kid's Choice Award.
Here's a video of the couple's interview at the 2012 KCA. Enjoy watching!
At that time Avan even once posted a picture on his Instagram claiming Zoey to be his perfect match. Check it out.
My girlfriend is perfect.

Their relationship seemed to be so cute and amazing that no one ever thought one day they will get separated. They used to share their memories together on social media.
If you all comment about how his hair is better than mine i'll lose my shit. ????. A girl can only take so much after 5 years.
A post shared by Zoey Deutch (@zoeydeutch) on Aug 21, 2016 at 5:32pm PDT
Wow! what a beautiful couple.
Now, let us introduce you with Avan Jogia's a long list of girlfriends. Prior to Zoey Deutch, Avan was firstly rumored to date his first girlfriend Victoria Justice, who is an American actress. But both of them adamantly denied being anything more than friends.

If You're Discouraged at All Today, Get Inspired by One Special Kid's Homecoming Story and His Refusal to Let Down Syndrome Hold Him Back
"That the sky is the limit — you can do whatever you want to do"
(Credit: WSYR)
When Andrew Bowman was named homecoming king of his high school, the honor was of course a huge moment for him and his family.
"I started crying and everyone was cheering and he was just beaming and smiling ear-to-ear," his mother Susan tells WSYR-TV. "He's had moments before, but this was just wow — his school, his peers."
"It was special," Bowman tells Syracuse.com. "It felt great."
But in truth, Bowman's big night last Friday was nothing particularly new — the 19-year-old senior at West Genesee High School in Camillus, N.Y. already sports a roomful of ribbons and trophies, the product of a calendar packed with commitments: Concert band drummer, actor in the school musical, singer in the chorus, and a rip roarin' swimmer.
Not to mention a robust course load that includes classes in physics, finance and careers, photography, art, band, and physical education.
Indeed, Bowman is living his life for all it's worth — and refusing to let Down Syndrome hold him back.
"You don't have to be the quarterback, you don't have to be the high honor roll student," Susan Bowman tells Syracuse.com.
Bowman's face has twice been shown on the buildings in Times Square for National Down Syndrome Awareness Month, Syracuse.com notes, adding that he received a state Assembly Excelsior Award of Excellence and has met several celebrities including former Gov. David Patterson.
"He is a classmate, a friend, a leader, and I would consider him to be the ambassador of change when it comes to total acceptance of everyone," West Genesee School District Superintendent Christopher Brown wrote in his blog, noting many reasons why Bowman's known as the "Mayor of West Genesee."
"He's so involved with the school, everyone knows him," says Maria Delany, 17, who was crowned homecoming queen and tells Syracuse.com that she's known Bowman since elementary school when they rode the bus together.
"They accept him in everything he does," his mother Susan says of Bowman's classmates, adding that football players crowded around to congratulate Andrew after he was named homecoming king and his computer and cell phone were on overdrive all night receiving well wishes.
Not that he had time to read them straightaway — Bowman was busy tripping the light fantastic at the homecoming dance that followed the football game.
That's not all. Bowman's also a Eucharistic minister and altar server at Holy Family Church, Syracuse.com notes, adding that he's expressed interest in the priesthood.
But not if the conductor bug gets him first. Last year he led the middle school chorus in a performance of "Sweet Music."
When this school year ends, Bowman will take the stage with his classmates at graduation. And while he'll receive a certificate rather than a diploma for the time being, Bowman — surprise, surprise! — isn't stopping there.
He'll attend another year at West Genesee as a "super senior," Syracuse.com reports, then move on to Onondaga Community College.
"That the sky is the limit — you can do whatever you want to do," his mother Susan tells WSYR of Andrew's example.
"He's a beautiful person,'' said Delany.
Here's a report from WSYR-TV in Syracuse:

But I recently came across a newer MLM company in the same niche, and they ARE different. So I have decided to do a complete and unbiased review on the MLM called BodHD.
In this review, I will tell you about the company's history, leadership, products and compensation plan. By the time you are finished reading this post, you should be able to make an informed decision if BodHD is right for you. Do know, the company website is linked in the reference section at the end of this post.
And just so you know, the company is headquartered in Melissa, Texas.
Originally the company was headquartered in Vista, California, but it has since been taken over by a new leadership team and moved to Texas.
BodHD™ wants to become the answer to the broken healthcare system. We are committed to helping millions become scientists of their own health where they can reach their true potential and achieve happier, healthier, and fully optimized lives. We envision a future of healthy, vibrant, and fit people sharing BodHD™ with everyone they meet.
CEO Matt Ward – Matt has always lived the entrepreneur lifestyle. But network marketing grabbed his interest many years ago and he has grown into a top force in MLM. Now as the head "honcho" of BodHD, he is teaching others how to fulfill their dreams by living their passion.
Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jim Meehan – A West Point Cadet and esteemed medical authority, Dr. Meehan brings his vast experience into the BodHD system. With his knowledge, the company will continue to climb upwards.
BodHD is a service MLM. There are essentially no products. When the company started, they did sell products but now it is a membership based multilevel marketing company.
And BodHD offers 24/7 Telehealth where you can have access to medical professionals anytime.
With bonuses and rewards galore, I hear nothing but praises for the BodHD compensation plan. From what it says on the BodHD website, you can earn residual income for up to 9 generations.
You can download the rewards plan by clicking here.
Still a rather new MLM company, I would have to say that BodHD has a great thing going.
If you are passionate about helping people get in shape and stay there, this just may be the right business for you.
If you have any questions or feedback, you can post them in the comment area below.
Tell us your thoughts about BodHD. And one other thing… Have a great day!

New Orleans' new civil rights leaders
By Bill Quigley

Lessons from the South's unique history of immigration
May 23, 2014 - Largely bypassed during earlier waves of U.S. immigration, the South doesn't have the same understanding of "the immigrant experience" as other regions -- but advocates are using innovative approaches to tell the story of Southern newcomers.
VOICES: The South says not one more deportation

'His Dark Materials' Season Three: Essentials Details, HBO Max Release Date & More
> 'His Dark Materials' Season Three: Essentials Details, HBO Max Release Date & More
His Dark Materials season three is finally here after two years of waiting. His Dark Materials is an adventure, mystery, and fantasy-drama TV show based on Philip Pullman's novel series of the same title.
The show launched its first season in December 2019, while its successor arrived a year later. Season three will be based on Pullman's third book from the series, The Amber Spyglass, after Northern Lights and The Subtle Knife for seasons one and two.
'His Dark Materials' Season 3 Release Date
Seasons one and two have presented His Dark Materials with plenty of positive reviews and critics revealed through an 85% average audience score, supported by an 81% average Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.8 out of 10 stars on IMDb.
His Dark Materials received a renewal for its third and last season in late 2020, before the second one was launched, and is scheduled to premiere on Monday, December 5th 2022 on HBO Max.
What's 'His Dark Materials' Season Three About?
His Dark Materials centers on Lyra, an orphan, searching for her long-lost friend. Lyra later discovers that her friend disappeared due to a kidnapping plot related to Dust, a cosmic component. The previous season left so much on a cliffhanger, with Lord Ariel requesting the angels' help with a war against Magisterium and Lyra's kidnap by her 'mother'.
The upcoming season will proceed with its predecessor's storyline as it tries to maintain the book's theme. The second Eve will be responsible for a more significant cosmic change as Lyra's search for her lost friend, Roger, intensifies.
Being the last season, Lyra and Will will confess their love and affection for each other, although they're forced to follow separate paths as they escape the wrath of Dust. Who will win the battle between the heroes and the Dust?
Has HBO Posted the Trailer for 'His Dark Materials' Season Three?
Yes. HBO unveiled the official trailer for His Dark Materials season three approximately a month ago.
The trailer lasts 2 minutes and 45 seconds, showcasing the season's most crucial scenes. You can also check out the official teaser from the same platform.
Which Team is Behind the Success of 'His Dark Materials'?
His Dark Materials is written by Jack Thorne, who also serves as the chief producer alongside Philip Pullman, Ryan Rasmussen, Ben Irving, Tom Hooper, Julie Gardner, Toby Emmerich, and Joel Collins.
Other top producers include Carolyn Blackwood, Otto Bathurst, Dan McCulloch, and Jane Tranter. The series is a co-project of New Line Products and Bad Wolf.
Who is in 'His Dark Materials' Season Three?
The upcoming season stars Amir Wilson, Dafne Keen, Will Keen, Jade Anouka, Ruta Gedmintas, Ruth Wilson, and James McAvoy.
Confirmed new faces to the season include Adewale A-Agbaje, Kobna H-Smith, Jamie Ward, Chipo Chung, Amber F-Woolfe, and Simon Harrison.

Axios @Work
Erica Pandey
Welcome back to @Work.
The newsletter will be off next week, and I'll be back on August 18th with a special edition on how the pandemic has affected older workers.
In the meantime, keep sending your feedback to [email protected]
One more thing: Jonathan Swan, Axios' national political correspondent, interviewed President Trump about the coronavirus, the upcoming election and more in a must-see episode of "Axios on HBO." You can catch the full interview for free here.
Today's edition is 1,553 words — a 6-minute read. First up...
1 big thing: Setting back a generation of women
Illustration: Annelise Capossela/Axios
The coronavirus' disproportionate impact on women workers is eroding years of progress.
Why it matters: In the long run, the pandemic could chip away at women's representation in the workforce and widen the gender pay gap, experts say.
What's happening: Women in the U.S. hit a milestone in February when, for the first time in history, they held the majority of non-farm payroll jobs, outnumbering men in the workforce. Then the pandemic hit, exacerbating many of the issues working women face.
Closed schools and day care centers along with stay-at-home orders dramatically increased the amount of housework that needed to be done. Women took on the bulk of that unpaid labor — and many were punished for it.
Since the pandemic began, American women have exited the workforce at a higher rate than men, per the Wall Street Journal. That's because they're disproportionately represented in the sectors that have suffered the most — like restaurants and salons — but also because many have had to, at least temporarily, quit their jobs to take care of children.
Working mothers are also facing overt discrimination.
Drisana Rios of San Diego, an account executive at an insurance broker, is suing her employer, saying she was fired because her young kids were making noise during calls.
Stephanie Jones of West Chester, Pa., also sued her company, saying she was fired for asking for flexible hours to care for her son.
As women lose or leave their jobs, or cut back on hours to make time for other types of work, they'll likely miss out on raises and promotions.
Women could have significant trouble re-entering the workforce. "We know from experience from past recessions that sometimes it's harder for women — especially women of color — to recover," says Maya Raghu, director of workplace equality and senior counsel at the National Women's Law Center.
And when women do return to work after taking time off, their salary offers are on average 7% lower than those of other candidates who haven't interrupted their careers, according to the compensation analysis company PayScale.
The stakes: All this "could lead to an increase in the gender employment gap," says Willem Adema, a senior economist at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. "And in the long term, it could increase the gender wage gap."
A bit of silver lining: The pandemic is at least starting conversations about issues that working women have faced for decades — a dynamic that could prompt change. "The elephant in the room is on the table," says Lorraine Hariton, CEO of Catalyst, an organization that works with companies to put women in leadership roles.
Many companies are stepping up for their employees who are working parents: 40% of employers surveyed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce say they have offered additional child care accommodations, assistance or benefits.
"The current crisis may — and this is a big 'may' — lead to some reappraisal by men of what they should do at home," Adema says.
And the pandemic's experiment in remote work at scale could upend the traditional 9-to-5, five-day workweek, creating more flexibility for parents.
2. Tech jobs aren't immune to the coronavirus
It's not just lower-wage service jobs in retail and at restaurants anymore. The effects of the coronavirus are beginning to reach the seemingly impervious tech industry.
By the numbers: New data from the jobs site Indeed shows that tech job postings were down 36% in late July, compared with the same time last year. That's even worse than the overall year-over-over drop in job postings of 21%.
What's happening: "At the beginning of the crisis, tech job postings initially fared better than overall postings. That may be because lots of tech work doesn't require much face-to-face interaction. What's more, some tech companies already had remote work policies in place, making it easy to scale up work from home," Indeed economist AnnElizabeth Konkel writes.
But, as the pandemic drags on, all companies are attempting to cut costs as it becomes increasingly apparent that the problem isn't going away anytime soon.
"There's so often the point of 'Is tech different?' It's kind of lost that status now," Konkel tells Axios.
Even the so-called jobs of the future have been hit hard by the pandemic: postings for jobs in artificial intelligence and machine learning are down 29%, per Indeed.
Worth noting: IT operations and help desk jobs are faring slightly better than other types of tech jobs. That's likely because companies are continuing to hire workers to help navigate the massive transition to telecommuting, says Konkel.
3. Unemployment math
The extra $600 a week of unemployment insurance isn't creating a disincentive for job seekers, per a new study by Yale economists.
Why it matters: Even with that extra help, millions of Americans are barely making ends meet. Now it has expired, and congressional Republicans' argument against extending it — that it rewards unemployment — isn't backed by the data.
The big picture: Some small-business owners around the country have said they believe the extra $600 a week was making it more difficult for them to hire workers. But when the Yale economists zoomed out, they found that the benefit had no effect on the labor market.
"Our findings don't imply that nobody is making this particular tradeoff, but what we do find is that [the extra benefit's] aggregate effect on employment is zero," Dana Scott, one of the study's authors, tells Axios.
In fact, there are around 14 million more unemployed people than there are jobs, per the Economic Policy Institute. "If we're in a scenario where the jobs aren't there, searching isn't going to help," Scott says.
The stakes: Reducing — or doing away — with the benefit could actually lead to bigger economic problems as people have even less money in their pockets and cut back on consumer spending, she says.
4. Charted: Job sites are getting fewer hits
Data: SimilarWeb; Chart: Naema Ahmed/Axios
As I wrote above, economists found that extra pandemic-era unemployment benefits did not deter people from going back to work.
But whether they're discouraged by the lack of postings or afraid to work amid a public health crisis, Americans aren't searching for jobs as vigorously as they used to.
Traffic to career sites like Indeed.com, Careerbuilder.com, Monster.com and others is down during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new half-year traffic report from SimilarWeb, reported by Axios' Sara Fischer.

5. Why the work lunch matters

The epicenter of New York City's small business apocalypse is in Manhattan, where scores of office buildings have been closed for months.
The big picture: Widespread remote work has produced a chain reaction. With no office workers stepping out for coffee or lunch throughout the day, many small businesses have had no choice but to shutter.
Why it matters: New York's small businesses employ 3 million people — or about half of the city's workforce, the New York Times reports. And these shops and eateries are what give each of the city's neighborhoods its soul and identity.
By the numbers, per the Times:
"More than 2,800 businesses in New York City have permanently closed since March 1, according to data from Yelp, the business listing and review site — a higher number than in any other large American city."
Half of those were in Manhattan.

Back-to-school season is the second-biggest revenue-generating period for the retail sector, after the holidays.

7. 1 🎓 thing: The coronavirus move-in day
The pandemic has already upended all kinds of life events, from birthdays to weddings to graduations.
The next rite of passage that the coronavirus is complicating is the college drop-off, Julie Weed writes in the New York Times.
Many of us remember the quiet drive from home to the dorm before the start of freshman year.
Some families turn it into a big road trip, traveling across several states, while others are just dealing with a trip across town. Regardless, it's often an important moment for students, parents and siblings to reflect on the end of an era and celebrate the next big thing.
The virus makes that difficult — or impossible.
Families are trying to figure out how they can say their goodbyes while staying safe.
"Nearly half of the country's states currently have statewide travel restrictions, with various degrees of self-quarantine orders — encouraged, strongly encouraged, mandatory — not to mention suggested or required testing," Weed notes. On top of that, colleges have their own restrictions.
I'll admit I'm personally bummed about this one. My sister starts at Northwestern this fall, and she'll likely be making the trip from Boston to Evanston alone.

Der Badische Landkalender war ein 1750 bis 1806 vom Gymnasium illustre in Karlsruhe herausgegebener Volkskalender für die lutherischen Untertanen des badischen Markgrafen.

Als der Absatz des Kalenders ins Stocken geriet, wurde 1802 der Theologe und Dichter Johann Peter Hebel (1760–1826) von seinem Gönner, dem Präsidenten der Oberkirchenbehörde Friedrich Brauer gebeten, an diesem Kalender mitzuarbeiten. Hebel steuerte ab 1803 zahlreiche Beiträge zum Badischen Landkalender bei und erstellte 1806 dem Konsistorium ein Unabgefordertes Gutachten über eine vorteilhaftere Einrichtung des Kalenders, in dem er ein geschlossenes volkspädagogisches Reformkonzept vorlegte, welches das vorher praktizierte Nachrichtensammelsurium ablösen sollte. Hebels Vorschlag wurde akzeptiert, und er selbst wurde zum Redakteur des Kalenders bestellt, der von 1807 bis 1834 unter dem neuen Namen Der Rheinländische Hausfreund erschien.

USMNT U-17s tie Brazil, finish second at Nike International Friendlies
December 3, 2018 December 2, 2018 by
The U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team returned to action on Sunday taking on Brazil to wrap up the 2018 Nike International Friendlies. The two sides played to a 1-1 draw with the U.S. conceding a late equalizer for the second time this tournament.
With Portugal's big win earlier in the day over Turkey, a top-place finish for the United States was near impossible with such a large gap in goal difference.
The Americans welcomed Gianluca Busio to the starting lineup with the Sporting Kansas City homegrown joining the squad after SKC's playoff defeat on Thursday. Joining him in the midfield was Tayvon Gray and Peter Stroud. while it was Griffin Yow, Ricardo Pepi, and Giovanni Reyna who made up the attack.
Damian Las returned between the goalposts on Sunday as he got Friday night off with Chituru Odunze taking his place against Turkey. Las' backline included Joe Scally, Mason Judge, Kobe Hernandez, and Adam Armour.
For a third consecutive match, Shaun Tsakiris' men found themselves in front shortly before the halftime whistle. Busio released Reyna who ran onto the ball near Brazil's penalty area. After doing well to beat his man, Reyna found an unmarked Busio, who tucked home the game's opening goal in the 45th minute.
For the third time in three matches, the Americans went into the halftime break with a 1-0 lead knowing they'd have to hold off the opposition.
Breakthrough right before the half!

Unfortunately for the USMNT U-17s, they conceded another late goal, much like they did against Portugal in their opening friendly. Brazil's Ivonei found the back of the net directly from a free kick in the 84th minute, leaving the Americans frustrated with another result. The United States eventually held on onto the one point to secure a second place finish in the tournament.
The U.S. Under-17s went unbeaten in the tournament, finishing with a win and two draws. The team scored three goals, one in each game, and conceded two while keeping a clean sheet on Friday against Turkey.

What's Good Today? Fried Chicken And Sweet Potato Pancakes At Diner
Nov 26 2013 on
Fried Chicken and Sweet Potato Pancakes - Diner's riff on the soul food classic chicken and waffles. This year's crop of sweet potatoes has been of notably high quality, says chef Matthew Greene.
Today we stop by Williamsburg's Diner, a place that needs no introduction, where owner Andrew Tarlow and founding chef Caroline Fidanza, however unintentionally, first codified the tenents of what's become known as 'new Brooklyn cuisine' – delicious, accessible food rooted in regional traditions, made with refined technique and the highest quality, often local, ingredients. It's the restaurant that launched a thousand restaurants.
We asked chef Matthew Greene and manager James O'Boyle to point us to something good on the always-changing menu. Their suggestion? Fried chicken and sweet potato pancakes.
So guys, what would you recommend today?
Matthew: I think you should try the sweet potato pancakes and fried chicken. It's basically our take on the classic soul food dish of chicken and waffles.
I actually just recently found out about the history behind chicken and waffles. It started with jazz musicians in Harlem in the 1930's, who would go out to eat at four or five o'clock in the morning after playing all night along. They'd go eat, and because of the super-late hour they wanted something that would combine breakfast and dinner in one dish. So somebody came up with the idea of serving fried chicken on waffles. There's some controversy about whether it actually started in Harlem or L.A., but since we're here in New York, I'm gonna go with Harlem.
For our version, we modified it a little bit. Instead of waffles, we do pancakes, and we make them with sweet potatoes. The local sweet potato crop this year is really, really nice. They're super sweet without being too watery, which makes for really strong flavor, and the texture makes them really easy to incorporate into our pancake batter.
Diner chef Matthew Greene and manager James O'Boyle expound upon the virtues of fried chicken and pancakes.
The sweet potatoes make the pancakes richer – their starch and sugars give them more body. They're not as fluffy as regular pancakes, but they're not heavy either. They're smooth. The buttermilk combined with the sweet potato gives the pancakes an almost custardy feel, which is kind of cool.
For the chicken, we use really nice pastured birds from Lancaster County. We do them in a nice batter and fry them in a way that gives you really tender, juicy meat inside that crunchy, crispy, savory crust – just what you're looking for with fried chicken.
We finish the whole thing with cilantro and chili maple syrup, to bring together the sweet and savory nature of the dish with a little spice. That little bit of heat from the chilis combined with the sweetness of the maple syrup really gives everything a little bit of depth. One of the things I really like about using chili in contexts like this is that it can provide heat where people don't really expect it. It's a fun way to add an unpredictable element to really familiar dishes, while adding some depth too.
The beauty of this dish is that it's both sweet and savory. It's the best of both worlds. You get the sweet from the sweet potato in the pancakes and the maple syrup. You get the savory aspect in the fried chicken. You get a nice mix of textures with the creamy, custardy pancakes and the crunchy, crispy fried chicken. And you get some added dimension from the cilantro and the chili. Who doesn't love fried chicken? Who doesn't love friggin' pancakes? They're two things that just about everybody loves.
James: For me, this dish feels like getting lucky a little bit. We serve a fried chicken sandwich here a lot, and we serve pancakes for breakfast a lot. Our menu changes all the time, so having both on the same menu, on the same day, in the same dish is like having the planets perfectly aligned. And I'm always happy when planets align. [laughter.]
It's just good old fashioned comfort food done really well. It's definitely one of my favorite dishes here.
Matthew finishes the dish with a cilantro and a chili-infused maple syrup. The heat from the chilis adds depth and dimension to the dish, he says.
I know Diner kind of pioneered the local sourcing thing in Brooklyn. What's special about these sweet potatoes and this chicken?
Matthew: Yes, we do source our ingredients carefully, and they are special. We usually don't talk about that stuff too much. It's just how we do it and we're in the fortunate position here to have been doing it that way since day one. We don't necessarily feel like we need to toot any horns about it. We do it because it's the right thing to do, and most importantly because doing it that way is what you need to do to get the best quality ingredients. Buying local wouldn't do us any good if the produce we were buying wasn't any good. But it is good. It's the best we can get, and that's ultimately why we get it.
In this dish? Both the sweet potatoes and the chicken come from farms in Lancaster County that we have pretty close relationships with. The buttermilk we use in the pancakes comes from a dairy farm up by the Finger Lakes. The maple syrup comes from a producer in Vermont, as does the flour we use to make the pancakes and to bread the chicken. Everything with the exception of things like salt and the dried chilis comes from around here.
So how did you guys end up here? What chain of events led you to Diner?
Matthew: I'm from a small town in Western Virginia. I wandered into a kitchen in high school looking for a dishwashing gig, just to make a little bit of money. They told me that if I learned how to cook they'd pay me more. So I learned how to cook. It was a couple of years before I really fell in love with it, but eventually I did.
I ended up cooking in Richmond, Virginia, for a long time. There's a lot of comfort food and soul food there. Because it was the capitol of the Confederacy, there's a lot of emphasis on traditional Southern cuisine but there's also a lot of fine dining rooted in French cuisine. I learned a lot there – it gave me a pretty good foundation.
One of the beautiful things about Diner is that we often use French technique while playing on Southern flavor combinations. So the food is always approachable and familiar, but still a little refined. And that's exactly the sort of food I love to eat and I love to make, and that I have been making for most of my career.
James: I'm originally from Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, a small town a couple of hours from the city. But I spent a lot of time living in the South. I went to high school and college in North Carolina – ate a lot of chicken, a lot of pancakes.
I moved to New York on a whim about nine years ago. I got a job working at a coffee shop in Greenpoint, called the Greenpoint Coffee House. It's no longer around, but back in 2003 it was one of those little gems. It had leather booths, a wooden bar, tin ceilings, and really good coffee. Back then places like that were kind of rare. [laughter.]
I was there for six years, and eventually I started managing the place. During that time it changed a lot. We started doing brunch. Eagle Street Rooftop Farm opened up next door. We started buying our ingredients there, and the food started getting better and better. Ben Flanner, one of the farmers who opened Eagle Street before going on to found Brooklyn Grange, was working in the kitchen when he wasn't farming. So this whole kind of community and culture developed around the place.
When it closed due to lease issues, I started working in other restaurants. About two years ago I ended up here. I work at both Diner and Marlow & Sons, managing things during the day. It's crazy and it's great and there's nowhere I'd rather work and no place I'd rather represent. And I get to eat Matt's chicken and pancakes. [laughter.]
Diner is located at 85 Broadway, at the corner of Berry, in Williamsburg.

The conundrum is clear. New York is a coastal city, surrounded by seas rich with life and towns where fishermen have been harvesting the ocean's bounty for centuries.

BJP in pole position in 65 assembly segments of Delhi with Congress in five, AAP in none
PTI | 25 May 2019 10:03 AM GMT
The saffron party bagged the top position in all the assembly segments of Northwest Delhi, South Delhi, New Delhi, West Delhi parliamentary constituencies.
NEW DELHI: The BJP, which swept the Lok Sabha elections in Delhi, stood first in 65 out of the 70 assembly segments, while the ruling AAP failed to manage that even in one segment.
The Congress came out on top in five seats dominated by minorities, poll data shows. The Congress secured the number two spot in 45 seats, while the AAP came second in 25 seats. The saffron party bagged the top position in all the assembly segments of Northwest Delhi, South Delhi, New Delhi, West Delhi parliamentary constituencies. The figures assume significance as Delhi will elect a new 70-member assembly early next year.
The BJP secured 56.56 per cent of the total votes polled in the Lok Sabha elections, while the Congress and the AAP bagged 22.5 per cent and 18.1 per cent votes respectively. The election results augur well for the Congress which had been pushed to the third spot in every major election since the 2013 Assembly polls.
The party could not even open its account in the 2015 Delhi assembly polls. The ruling AAP fared badly even in New Delhi segment represented by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. AAP candidate Brijesh Goyal came a distant third with just 14,740 votes. Overall, Goyal stood third in the constituency.
South Delhi was the only constituency where AAP's Raghav Chadha remained on the second spot in all 10 assembly segments.
In the Northeast Delhi Lok Sabha seat, Delhi Congress president and party candidate Sheila Dikshit garnered the maximum number of votes in Seelampur assembly segment (64,382). However, her BJP rival Manoj Tiwari gave a tough fight in Babarpur (57,827 votes) and Mustafabad (73,501 votes) assembly segments.
The three assembly segments in North East Delhi have sizeable minorities population. Dikshit polled 57,227 votes in Babarpur and 69,803 votes in Mustafabad.
In East Delhi's Okhla Assembly segment where minorities play a pivotal role, Congress' Arvinder Singh Lovely garnered over 60,000 votes while Atishi of the AAP was on second spot with over 43,000 votes. Gambhir got more than 35,000 votes in Okhla. He trounced Lovely by over 3.91 lakh votes in the East Delhi seat. Atishi trailed on third place, but she managed to save her deposit.
In Chandni Chowk parliamentary seat, Ballimaran, Chandni Chowk and Matia Mahal Assembly segments have a sizable number of minority voters. Congress candidate from Chandni Chowk Jai Prakash Agarwal polled more votes than his BJP rival and sitting MP Harsh Vardhan in the three minorities dominated assembly segments of the parliamentary seat.
Agarwal got 33,440 votes in Chandni Chowk, 52,669 votes in Matia Mahal, and 49,036 votes in Ballimaran. Harsh Vardhan managed to push AAP candidate Pankaj Gupta on third place in the three assembly segments.
Vardhan got 20,224 votes in Matia Mahal, 28,754 votes in Chandni Chowk and 33,723 votes in Ballimaran. Gupta obtained 9,152 votes in Chandni Chowk, 8,306 votes in Ballimaran and 6,787 votes in Matia Mahal. The shift in minorities' votes to the Congress could shift the political scene in Delhi which goes to polls early next year.
