"Waterloo" is the first single from the Swedish pop group ABBA's second album, Waterloo, and their first under the Epic and Atlantic labels. This was also the first single to be credited to the group performing under the name ABBA. The title and lyrics reference the 1815 Battle of Waterloo, and use it as a metaphor for a romantic relationship.
On 6 April 1974, the song was the winning entry for Sweden in the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest. The victory began ABBA's path to worldwide fame. The Swedish version of the single was backed with the Swedish version of "Honey, Honey", while the English version usually featured "Watch Out" on the B-side.
The single became a No. 1 hit in several countries. It reached the U.S. Top 10 and went on to sell nearly six million copies.[citation needed]
At the 50th anniversary celebration of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2005, it was chosen as the best song in the competition's history.[5] It received the same honour in a 14-country open vote in the run-up to the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in Rotterdam, placing first above Loreen's "Euphoria" and Måns Zelmerlöw's "Heroes".[6]

Writing, recording and meaning[edit]
"Waterloo" was written specifically to be entered into the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, after the group finished third with "Ring Ring" the previous year in the Swedish pre-selection contest, Melodifestivalen 1973.
The original title of the song was "Honey Pie". "Waterloo" was originally written with simultaneous rock music and jazz beats (unusual for an ABBA song).
Recording of the song commenced on 17 December 1973, with instrumental backing from Janne Schaffer (who came up with the main guitar and bass parts), Rutger Gunnarsson and Ola Brunkert. The song's production style was influenced by Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound": prior to recording "Ring Ring", engineer Michael B. Tretow had read Richard Williams' book Out of His Head: The Sound of Phil Spector, which inspired him to layer multiple instrumental overdubs on the band's recordings, becoming an integral part of ABBA's sound. Subsequently, German and French versions were recorded in March and April 1974 respectively: the French version was adapted by Alain Boublil, who would later go on to co-write the 1980 musical Les Misérables.[7]
The song's lyrics are metaphorical and are about a woman who "surrenders" to a man and promises to love him, likening it to Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
At Eurovision[edit]
The band considered submitting another song to Eurovision, "Hasta Mañana", but decided on "Waterloo" since it gave equal weight to both lead vocalists Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, while "Hasta Mañana" was sung only by Fältskog.
ABBA performed the song at Melodifestivalen 1974 in February, singing it in Swedish. The song won, and therefore advanced to Eurovision.
The song differed from the standard "dramatic ballad" tradition of the Eurovision Song Contest by its flavour and rhythm, as well as by its performance. ABBA gave the audience something that had rarely been seen before in Eurovision: flashy costumes (including silver platform boots), plus a catchy uptempo song and even simple choreography. The group also broke from convention by being the first winning entry in a language other than that of their home country; prior to 1973, all Eurovision singers had been required to sing in their country's native tongue, a restriction that was lifted briefly for the contests between 1973 and 1976 (thus allowing "Waterloo" to be sung in English), then reinstated before ultimately being removed again in 1999. Compared to later ABBA releases, the singers' Swedish accents are decidedly more pronounced in "Waterloo".
The song scored 24 points to win the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 final on 6 April, beating runner-up Gigliola Cinquetti of Italy's entry "Sì" by six points.
The song shot to No. 1 in the UK and stayed there for two weeks, becoming the first of the band's nine UK No. 1's, and the 16th biggest selling single of the year in the UK.[8] It also topped the charts in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, West Germany, Ireland, Norway, South Africa, and Switzerland, while reaching the Top 3 in Austria, France, the Netherlands, Spain, and ABBA's native Sweden. (The song was immensely popular in Sweden, but did not reach No. 1 there due to Sweden having a combined Album and Singles Chart at the time: at the peak of the song's popularity, its Swedish and English versions reached No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, while the No. 1 spot was held by the album Waterloo.) The song also spent 11 weeks on Svensktoppen (24 March – 2 June 1974), including 7 weeks at No. 1.[9]
As of September 2021, it is ABBA's eleventh-biggest song in the UK, including both pure sales and digital streams.[10]
Unlike other Eurovision-winning tunes, the song's appeal transcended Europe: "Waterloo" also reached the Top 10 in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Rhodesia, and the United States (peaking at No. 6, their third highest-charting U.S. hit after No. 1 "Dancing Queen" and No. 3 "Take a Chance on Me"). The Waterloo album performed similarly well in Europe, although in the US it failed to match the success of the single.
ABBA had originally cited the song "See My Baby Jive", by English glam rock band Wizzard, as a major influence; in the wake of their Eurovision victory, they were quoted as saying that it would not surprise them if artists such as Wizzard would consider entering the Eurovision in the future.
Cash Box said that this "is not a brash rocker, it's just solid rock with a very competent lady up front."[11]
"Waterloo" was re-released in 2004 (with the same B-side), to celebrate the 30th anniversary of ABBA's Eurovision win, reaching No. 20 on the UK charts.
On 22 October 2005, at the 50th anniversary celebration of the Eurovision Song Contest, "Waterloo" was chosen as the best song in the competition's history.[5]
Harry Witchel, physiologist and music expert at the University of Bristol, named "Waterloo" the quintessential Eurovision song.[12]

In 1974, Seija Simola recorded a Finnish-language cover version of "Waterloo" whose lyrics were written by Simola; her version reached the Top 10 in Finland during the same period the ABBA original was at No. 1.[citation needed]
In 2018, Cher covered the song on her ABBA covers album Dancing Queen. During her Here We Go Again Tour she performed "Waterloo" together with "SOS" and "Fernando".[51] On 31 October 2018 "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)" and "Take Me Home" were cut from her Classic Cher concert residency and "Waterloo", "SOS" and "Fernando" were added.[52] On 18 September 2019 Cher also performed "Waterloo" at the season 14 finale of America's Got Talent, to promote the album and her Here We Go Again Tour.[53]
Live cover performances[edit]
The song is featured in the encore of the musical Mamma Mia!. The song does not have a context or a meaning. It is just performed as a musical number in which members of the audience are encouraged to get up off their seats and sing, dance and clap along.
The song is performed by the cast over the closing credits of the film Mamma Mia!, but is not featured on the official soundtrack.
The song is also performed in the sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, by Hugh Skinner and Lily James.
Appearances in other media[edit]
ABBA perform parts of the song live in the 1977 film ABBA: The Movie.
The Australian film Muriel's Wedding (1994), features "Waterloo" in a pivotal scene in which lead Toni Collette bonds with the character played by Rachel Griffiths. The film's soundtrack, featuring five ABBA tracks, is widely regarded as having helped to fuel the revival of popular interest in ABBA's music in the mid-1990s.[54]
"Waterloo" features prominently in the 2015 science-fiction film The Martian.[55] The song plays as the film's lead, played by Matt Damon, works to ready his launch vehicle for a last-chance escape from Mars.[56]
"Here I Go Again", the 11th episode of the third season of Legends of Tomorrow (19 February 2018), begins in medias res, with the titular time-traveling team having apparently just restored a time-transplanted Napoleon from the 1970s, where he had come into possession of a copy of the record.[57] The song is also stuck in the head of one member of the team, until he erases his own memory to get it out.
In "Mother Simpson", the eighth episode of the seventh season of The Simpsons, Mr. Burns plays "Ride of the Valkyries" from a tank about to storm the Simpson home, but the song is cut-off and "Waterloo" is played, to which Smithers apologizes, advising he "must have accidentally taped over that".[58]

Q: sqlite3 with python - query debugging - print the final query I'm trying to debug a SQL statement generated with sqlite3 python module...
c.execute("SELECT * FROM %s WHERE :column = :value" % Photo.DB_TABLE_NAME, {"column": column, "value": value})

It is returning no rows when I do a fetchall()
When I run this directly on the database
SELECT * FROM photos WHERE album_id = 10

I get the expected results.
Is there a way to see the constructed query to see what the issue is?

A: the problem here is that the string values are automatically embraced with single quotes. You can not dynamically insert column names that way.
Concerning your question, I'm not sure about sqlite3, but in MySQLdb you can get the final query as something like (I am currently not at a computer to check):
statement % conn.literal(query_params)

A: To actually answer your question, you can use the set_trace_callback of the connection object to attach the print function; this will make all queries get printed when they are executed. Here is an example in action:
# Import and connect to database
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('example.db')
# This attaches the tracer
conn.set_trace_callback(print)
# Get the cursor, execute some statement as an example
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute("CREATE TABLE stocks (symbol text)")
t = ('RHAT',)
c.execute("INSERT INTO stocks VALUES (?)", t)
c.execute('SELECT * FROM stocks WHERE symbol=?', t)
print(c.fetchone())

This produces the output:
CREATE TABLE stocks (symbol text)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO stocks VALUES ('RHAT')
SELECT * FROM stocks WHERE symbol='RHAT'
('RHAT',)

A: You can only use substitution parameters for row values, not column or table names.
Thus, the :column in SELECT * FROM %s WHERE :column = :value is not allowed.

Recognizing achievement in advancing the state of the art in fleet optimization, the SHIPPINGInsight Award was presented to Stena Line and NAPA Group during a gala awards luncheon Oct. 1 at the SHIPPINGInsight 2014 Fleet Optimization Conference & Exhibition in Stamford, Connecticut.
Presented for the first time, the award honors a ship operating company and its technology partners for the successful implementation of an innovative technology or initiative that reduced operating costs and improved operating efficiencies.
An international transport and travel service company based in Gothenburg, Sweden, Stena Line and the Finnish-based NAPA Group were recognized for an energy-saving program, which has achieved yearly savings of more than 17 million euros, based on the comprehensive shore-based monitoring of the eco efficiency of 22 ships. Stena Line uses NAPA software to monitor fuel consumption, speed, departure status and loading data, which is transmitted from ship to shore in real time. The data enables the technical department to assist crews on vessel operation and ultimately improves fuel efficiency, contributing to Stena Line's goal of reducing fuel volume by 2 percent during 2014.
A panel of independent judges, including maritime journalists, academics and third-party experts, selected the winners based on entries submitted. Award recipients received a binnacled captain's clock in a wooden case. A certificate of merit also went to Matson Line and Emerson Process Management.
Now in its third year, SHIPPINGInsight attracts maritime industry executives from around the world with a focus on practical solutions for the challenges facing ship operators. This year's event was expanded with the addition of a dedicated Marine LNG Symposium, Sept. 30, which preceded the Fleet Optimization Conference & Exhibition, Oct. 1-2.
Left to Right: Lars-Erik Hellring, Project Manager, Energy Savings Program, Stena Line, and Jouni Salo, Product Manager, Shipping Solutions, NAPA, winners of the first SHIPPINGInsight Award.
Soccoli Associates LLC, a maritime consultancy, and Rhodes Communications, Inc., an international communications firm specializing in the maritime industry, are co-producers for the SHIPPINGInsight Conferences. Maritime Reporter and Engineering News and Maritime Professional magazines are the exclusive media sponsors. For more information, visit www.shippinginsight.com.

Pompeo claims 'electoral fraud' at Venezuela's elections
Washington: US State Secretary Mike Pompeo has challenged the legitimacy of the parliamentary elections hels in Venezuela on Sunday, saying that there would not be representation of the people's opinion at the new parliament due to "electoral fraud."
The elections to Venezuela's National Assembly took place on Sunday.
Pompeo took to Twitter to express his disapproval of the elections
"Venezuela's electoral fraud has already been committed. The results announced by the illegitimate Maduro regime will not reflect the will of the Venezuelan people. What's happening today is a fraud and a sham, not an election,".
Over 100 political parties and associations are participating in the electoral process. Thought more than 20 parties, including the opposition bloc of Juan Guaido, a failed coup leader, have refused to participate in the election.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has said that he was ready to resign if the opposition wins the Sunday elections.
Maduro voted earlier in the day, following up by calling on all political forces to engage in an inclusive national dialogue after the elections.


Between 10 and 13 December 2013 EM Strasbourg Business School hosted the first operational meeting with two Australian and two European universities as part of the international consortium steered by the Alsatian business school. This afforded the opportunity to put in place the 12 dual degree programmes due to be jointly launched in January 2015 and to recruit the first participating students as soon as January 2014.
As part of the international consortium steered by EM Strasbourg Business School, the Australian partners (University of Western Australia, Adelaïde University) met up with their European counterparts (Università Ca'Foscari de Venise et Corvinus University de Budapest) on the School's premises in Strasbourg between 10 and 13 December 2013.
Dean Isabelle Barth and Associate Dean for International Relations Kevin Mac Gabhann welcomed the representatives from the various partner universities and their teams, who had been brought together to work jointly on this ambitious programme designed to foster student mobility between the two continents. The programme will offer a total of 12 combined dual degrees in International Management. In addition, the participating students will benefit from the specialities taught at each institution.
- design a promotional brochure and create a common web portal.
They also investigated opportunities for collaboration in research and common courses on the basis of the various specialities offered at the partner universities, including entrepreneurship, wine management, agribusiness, tourism and trade. Thanks to these new synergies, the partner universities aim at enhancing the overall quality of teaching and at exploring new common research fields as from 2014.
A working meeting on the consortium's action plans for entrepreneurship was held at the European Parliament with European Commissioner for Enterprise and Industry Antonio Tajani. The European Commissioner was highly appreciative of the quality of the consortium's endeavours and expressed his intention to build on the expertise of the five universities in order to pursue his own commitment to promote entrepreneurship, notably within the framework of the Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan.


In a recent survey of PSHE Association members, we learnt that one of the greatest areas of concern to PSHE leads and teachers was pupil mental health.
The PSHE Association and Young Minds have come together to launch this survey as we're keen to learn a bit more about what exactly the current issues and barriers are, so that we can help you to address them.
Please take a few minutes to answer the questions below and you will help us greatly to help you and your pupils.


d^3 - d(ab+bc+ca) - 2abc =0 .
nobody can help me !!!!!!!!
I do complex theories, such as Chaos Theory and the Butterfly Effect.
I, however, lack certain math skills.
can you post the answer ?
please i'm very very need !!!!!!!
Hi math, and welcome to the forum.
These are tough questions! Where did they come from? I had a quick look and found I couldn't give an immediate answer ... other people might be the same, so you may have to wait, sorry.
i don't understand . Why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
are you have the answer of the problem ????
No, not yet. Proofs are very difficult.
Yes, that's right ... I said it wasn't really a proof.
I am sorry, but your questions are difficult, I am just hoping someone can spare the time to work on answer for you. I have unfortunately been a little busy recently.
never fear!!! Flowers4Carlos is here to save the day!!!!
Maybe ganesh could post these one at a time under "Ganesh's Puzzles".
white + white = 0 + 0 = 0 = white, Proved!
For A), B) please give some time. Yes, Proofs aren't too easy. They are time consuming.
very thanks to ganesh !!!!
next week , i will give the proof to my teacher ,please , !!!!!!!
the problem were unsolve in along time ago !!!!!!!!!
Draw the triangle, and then draw it again rotated so that B is in the same corner that C was. Now since ICA < IBA and ICB < IBC, ICA + ICB < IBA + IBC. Since this is true, the angle at C is less than the angle at B. I forget the name of the proof, but if you have such a triangle, the side with a greater angle has a smaller diagonal (BB' and CC'). So Since angle C < B, CC' > BB'.
I don't understand quite understand the wording in 2.

As the warmer months roll into my hometown in the South, the urge to over-indulge in ice cream becomes almost unbearable. I absolutely adore ice cream and would gladly eat it every day during the spring and summer — if it weren't for the fact that I'm highly health conscious. There's nothing wrong with indulging in a standard ice cream cone from time to time, but, if you plan to indulge frequently in icy treats, try these six smart substitutes for ice cream.
Low in fat and dairy-free, sorbet is a delicious vegan alternative to ice cream. Made primarily from fruit juice, sorbet has a leg up on ice cream because it contains natural fruit antioxidants. Be aware, though, that this sweet stuff is often even higher in sugar than conventional ice cream. Still, it is generally a safe bet as a lower-calorie, healthier substitute for ice cream.
In general, sherbet contains less fat than ordinary ice cream, making it a healthier alternative. Sherbet is also often available in fat-free, reduced-sugar, or all-natural varieties. One scoop of this sweet, sticky delicacy can give you the creamy satisfaction of ice cream without as many calories or as much fat.
Fruit bars are delicious popsicle-like treats that have the chilly, satisfying feel of an ice cream bar. Fruit bars frequently contain 100% fruit juice or pureed fruit, making them a completely natural, high-antioxidant alternative to ice cream. Those made with whole fruit also pack plenty of fiber, so they grant all the benefits of fresh, whole fruit. Indulge in a fruit bar to halt those ice cream cravings.
Frozen yogurt is generally significantly lower in fat than ice cream, but it is just as creamy and decadent as its high-fat counterpart. In fact, many people find frozen yogurt nearly identical in taste to ice cream. Many favorite brands, such as Edy's and Ben and Jerry's, offer their best-selling ice cream flavors in the form of frozen yogurt, so you can have all of the fun for far fewer calories.
Many of us see the word "soy" and cringe. To many, the word is virtually synonymous with bland health food. However, many soy ice creams are delightfully creamy, without any "beany" flavor or odd texture. I actually enjoy soy ice creams even more than dairy ice creams, and they're far healthier and easier on my stomach. Try SoDelicious — my favorite — as a healthier alternative to ice cream.
Smoothies are one of the most delightfully healthy summertime treats. These sweet, creamy concoctions can be made with yogurt, milk, soy milk, or coconut milk to give them the taste and feel of ice cream. Fruits and nutrition powders offer that extra nutritional punch.
You don't have to give up frozen desserts to enjoy a healthy lifestyle. The many delicious, healthy alternatives to ice cream can provide you with the chilly sweetness you crave, without all the calories and fat associated with conventional ice cream.

Q: How to make a function using Carbon in Lumen to check if current time is between 11pm to 7am? This information can be found in the Carbon docs. How to implement this?

To determine if the current instance is between two other instances you can use the aptly named between() method. The third parameter indicates if an equal to comparison should be done. The default is true which determines if its between or equal to the boundaries.
$first = Carbon::create(2012, 9, 5, 1);
$second = Carbon::create(2012, 9, 5, 5);
var_dump(Carbon::create(2012, 9, 5, 3)->between($first, $second));          // bool(true)
var_dump(Carbon::create(2012, 9, 5, 5)->between($first, $second));          // bool(true)
var_dump(Carbon::create(2012, 9, 5, 5)->between($first, $second, false));   // bool(false)

A: Since your time period crosses the day mark, it might be easier to check the opposite:
$first = Carbon::now()->setTime(7,0,0);
$second = Carbon::now()->setTime(23,0,0);
$now = Carbon::now();

if(!$now->between($first, $second)) {
    // Time is not between 7am and 11pm, so do your checks here
}

This month, we're celebrating Plastic Free July—a few weeks dedicated to reducing our reliance on single-use plastics.
Many of the disposable plastics that make their way into landfills ultimately find their way to the sea. Once there, they break into smaller and smaller pieces but never completely decompose. Scientists estimate more than 5 trillion tiny pieces of plastic already occupy the ocean, and as more single-use plastics enter the waste stream, that number grows.
Skip the straw. This one seems simple, but sometimes you're given a straw without asking. Next time you're out to eat, ask your server not to put a straw in your drink.
Bag the plastic. Replace plastic and paper with reusable bags (and not just at the grocery store). Keep one at the ready in your purse, car or at the office for that next impromptu shopping trip.
Pack it up. On-the-go lunches can contain a lot of plastic. Start with a reusable lunch box, and try to eliminate single-serving snacks. Take it one step further by ditching disposable snack bags and choosing a reusable option instead!
Choose your cup. Designate a coffee mug for the office and a refillable water bottle for the gym. Hosting a party? Make it B.Y.O.C. (bring your own cup).
Say no to single-use silverware. Keep a set of silverware at the office or in your car, so when you're grabbing lunch on the go you can skip the plastic alternative. Some companies even make multi tools for an all-in-one fork, knife and spoon!
Do you have more tips for ditching disposable plastics? Share them in the comment section!

The Weeknd and Bella Hadid Are Reportedly Back Together
Natasha Reda Published: October 11, 2019
Harry How, Getty Images
The Weeknd and Bella Hadid are back together, according to E! News.
The outlet reports the on-again-off-again couple reconciled after eyewitnesses say the "Starboy" hitmaker at the model's 23rd birthday party in New York City on Thursday night (October 10). Apparently, the two were even spotted taking tequila shots at the bar with her friends. It's unclear when The Weeknd (nee Abel Tesfaye) and Hadid patched things up, but sources say they're definitely back on after calling it quits in August.
"Abel met up with Bella last night for her third birthday celebration at L'Avenue," a source told E! News. "He was with her the entire night and they left together to go back to the apartment they both shared."
"You could tell that they were definitely in love and they both looked very happy being around each other," the insider added, before explaining that the pair have been in touch the last couple of weeks.
"Initially, Abel reached out to Bella first checking in to say hello, and she agreed to meet up with him," the sourced continued after revealed they're working on their relationship. "There was no love lost between the two Abel just had a few things he needed to work on and his focus was elsewhere. They are in a better place right now but are trying to keep things on the down-low. They both want to be more private about it this time around."
Meanwhile, we'll be here refreshing Instagram to see if either of them posts a photo from the party...

SOME IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THIS ELECTION
ELIGIBILITY TO VOTE BY DISQUALIFIED MEMBERS
The Speaker, on the ground of defection, disqualified 22 members of the Punjab Legislative Assembly. During the trial of their Special Leave Petition, the Supreme Court in its interim Order dated 07-05-1987 had held that if any Presidential Election was to be held before the hearing of the matter, the disqualified members would be entitled to participate in the poll and cast their votes as if they had not been disqualified. On a clarification sought by the Commission, the Supreme Court, by an Order dated 22-06-1987, held that participation includes proposing and seconding of nominations of candidates. The votes cast by these members might be separately marked and after counting kept separately until final disposal of the case. The Court also indicated that such further directions as might be needed might be taken at the time of hearing of the matter.
Pursuant to the above directions, the names of the 22 Members of Legislative Assembly concerned were included in the list of members of the Electoral College.
In order to give effect to the directions of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, the Commission laid down the following procedure for observance by the Assistant Returning Officer i.e. Secretary to the Punjab Legislative Assembly:-
i) Every ballot paper, issued to the above mentioned 22 Members or the postal ballot paper, if issued to any of them on the ground of his being under preventive detention, and the counterfoil thereof shall be prominently marked on their back with a rubber stamp to be supplied by the Election Commission containing the words "Permitted to vote under direction of the Supreme Court."
ii) For the purpose of issue of ballot papers to the above mentioned 22 Members, a separate packet consisting of the last 25 ballot papers supplied for use of electors at Chandigarh shall be set apart.
iii) An additional polling officer shall be posted for issue of ballot papers to the 22 members concerned. He shall be supplied with the list of members of the Punjab Legislative Assembly.
iv) The additional polling officer shall be seated near the other polling officers and polling agents so that it does not become necessary for candidates to appoint additional polling agents.
v) The procedure for issue and marking of ballot papers by the said 22 members and their insertion into the ballot box shall be the same as is applicable for the other members.
vi) After the close of poll, the marked copy of the list of electors supplied to the additional polling officer mentioned above, the counterfoils of ballot papers issued to the members referred to above, and the unused ballot papers with said additional polling officer shall be placed in separate packets by the Assistant Returning Officer and shall be sealed and secured in the manner prescribed under rule 21 (1) of the Presidential and Vice-Presidential Elections Rules, 1974 and forwarded to the Returning Officer alongwith other election records pertaining to that polling station.
Pending the decision of the Supreme Court on the above mentioned application of the Election Commission seeking clarification whether the votes so cast by the members of the Punjab Legislative Assembly could be taken into account by the Returning Officer for the purpose of determination and declaration of the results of the election, the Commission laid down the following procedure for counting of votes in case the Court issued a direction that the votes cast by the 22 disqualified members should be counted–
i) When the ballot box containing the ballot papers cast by members of Punjab Legislative Assembly is taken up, the number of votes found in the ballot box be tallied with the number of votes cast.
ii) Thereafter, the folded ballot papers shall be unfolded in such a manner as preferences marked thereon are not seen. For this purpose, the face of the unfolded ballot papers shall be kept downwards.
iii) Thereafter, detailed scrutiny of the unfolded ballot papers shall be made. Scrutiny shall consist of two stages. In the first stage, genuineness of the ballot papers shall be ascertained with reference to the matter on their back but marking thereon shall not be seen or scrutinized. In the second stage, all the ballot papers shall be kept together in the form of bundles and reversed upside down and then taken up for detailed scrutiny. It shall be ensured that reverse side is not shown to or seen by any body. Thereafter the counting of votes shall proceed in the prescribed manner. However, if the Supreme Court ordered that these ballot papers of 22 Members shall not be counted, these papers shall be taken out by seeing the rubber stamp marks on their back. These shall, however, neither be unfolded nor the preferences marked thereon shall be seen or scrutinized. The Supreme Court, however, ordered on 14th July 1987 that the votes cast by the members shall be counted but shall be kept separately after counting. A copy of the order of the Supreme Court was sent to the Returning Officer on 15th July, 1987.
ELECTIONS DECLARED VOID BY HIGH COURT, BUT STAY ORDERS
ISSUED BY THE SUPREME COURT
Five members of electoral college – two of Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly and one each of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab Legislative Assembly, were not entitled to cast their votes as their elections had been declared void by respective High Courts but orders of the High Courts were stayed by Supreme Court.
Broad Cast/Telecast Facilities
Shri Mithelesh Kumar Sinha, one of the contesting candidates requested the Commission for facility to put forth his views over AIR/Doordarshan.
Under a scheme evolved by the Ministry of I & B, in consultation with the Commission in 1977, such broadcasting/telecasting facilities are afforded to recognized political parties during general elections to Lok Sabha and State Assemblies. However, these facilities are not extended to other elections. Another candidate Shri V.R. Krishna Iyer was reported to have requested the Minister of State in M/o Information & Broadcasting (Shri Ajit Kumar Panja) that the three contesting candidates should be given opportunity to express their views over AIR/Doordarshan and it was reported that the Govt. did not accept the request and accordingly no candidate was allowed facility of broadcasting/telecasting their views.

A certain man set out to plant a vineyard. He prepared his plot of land, prepared his seeds, and set forth to plant the seeds. The seeds sprouted and grew, and when they had grown, he transplanted them into the ground. Now the ground was very good for soil, but only a single vine grew forth from the ground, while the rest of the ground lay bare. The single vine grew very well, and it took to the good soil. The sun, however, was blocked behind the clouds day after day, and its light never reached the vine. Over time, only the sun's heat came forth, and without any light, the vine ceased to grow. The sun scorched the vine and all of the good soil, including that which produced no growth, and the vine began to wither and die.
After seeing all these things, the man was deeply sorrowed, for his vineyard had ceased to bring forth any growth. So, before the vine had withered completely, the man took a single grape from the vine and planted it in a portion of the good soil that remained. This sprouted, and brought forth a new vine. This vine, however, grew much more bountifully. The vine grew, and grew, and grew, until finally it covered the entire plot of land. The sun refused to shine as before, but the vine grew all the more in spite of the lack of sunlight. In fact, the vine grew so quickly that in just one season, the vineyard became very beautiful, and it produced much fruit for the man, even though the entirety of the vineyard came only from the single vine. The soil all around the vineyard was hard and bare, for the sun continued to bake it day after day. The single vine continued to grow and spread, but the soil did not bring forth any new vines, for the sun's heat withered away any new growth immediately. The man was very pleased with the single vine, but the lack of new growth brought him much grief. He continued to prune and water the vine, until one day the vine ceased to grow outward, and began to grow upward. It grew rapidly upward toward the sun, until finally the sun broke through the clouds and all of its heat was released, scorching the single vine. The vine withered and died, and it fell back onto the ground, covering the entire vineyard. In fact, the vine had grown so large that not one portion of the vineyard remained open, for the vine covered it all. Its grapes fell into the soil, and when winter came, some of the soil soaked up the vine, producing good, beautiful soil. When spring came, the portions of soil that had soaked up the vine brought forth beautiful vines of their own. Their roots grew quickly and connected underneath the soil forming one giant root system. These vines produced good fruit, and the man pruned them, bringing forth even more fruit the next season.
Meanwhile, the ground which did not soak up the vine lay bare, however, the covering of the vine protected it from the sun. The soil did not become healthy enough to keep any water and produce new growth like the soil which soaked up the vine, yet it did not dry up either, for the sun could not wither the massive covering of the vine. The man saw this, and when he realized that the vine had not withered, he waited for the ground to receive it. His vineyard grew, and though some of the ground still refused to bring forth new growth, the entire vineyard remained covered. And so, the man continued to water his vineyard, and he waited, watching the soil closely each season. The vines grew, the ground remained covered, and the man watered, all the while watching, and waiting with hope.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan's past relationship
Before Abhishek Bachchan had found love in Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the duo had quite a few linkups and relations. And their past relationships are still etched in the heart and mind of their millions of fans.
Aishwarya Rai's relationship with Salman Khan
Aishwarya Rai with Salman Khan
Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan's relationship was one of the hottest topics in the late 1990s. They were the 'it' couple back then, but destiny had other plans and they had parted ways in 2002. The breakup was an ugly one and it had affected Aishwarya's goodwill in the industry, and she had lost many projects because of it and Salman Khan's influence (reportedly).
Aishwarya Rai's rumoured relationship with Vivek Oberoi
Aishwarya Rai with Vivek Oberoi
Vivek Oberoi had reportedly dated Aishwarya Rai in the early 2000s, but they had soon parted ways on a bitter note. And in 2009, Vivek had finally opened up about his breakup on Farah Khan's show, Tere Mere Beech Mein, wherein, he had confessed how he held the infamous press conference against Salman Khan to please Aishwarya.
Abhishek Bachchan's relationship with Karisma Kapoor
In the '90s, Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor were considered the 'it' couple. The duo was about to get married. In fact, we still remember how Jaya Bachchan had introduced Karisma as her future daughter-in-law during a press conference. However, soon the engagement was called off and no one knows the actual reason for it. Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor had met each other at the former's sister, Shweta Bachchan's wedding in 1997.
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai's first meeting
Abhishek Bachchan had first met his ladylove, Aishwarya Rai in Switzerland. He was in the country for the location recce of a film, which his father, Amitabh Bachchan was making. Abhishek had narrated his first meeting to YouTuber, Ranveer Allahbadia for his podcast and had shared:
"I first met her when I was a production boy. There was a film my father was making called Mrityudata, and I had gone for the location recce to Switzerland because the company felt that because I had grown up in Switzerland in boarding school that I would be able to take them to nice locations. I had been there for a couple of days, all alone. And that's when a childhood friend of mine, Bobby Deol, was shooting for his first film -- Aur Pyar Ho Gaya. And he got to know I was there and said 'Hey, why don't you come over for dinner?' And that's the first time when they were shooting when I met Aishwarya."
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai's magical love story – From co-stars to soulmates
No one knows how love blossomed between Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. But there are some, who say that the sparks of love ignited between the two while shooting for the item song, Kajra Re, on the sets of Bunty Aur Babli (2005). However, it was in 2006-2007, when they had gotten a lot of time to spend together as they were shooting three films, Umrao Jaan, Guru and Dhoom 2. It was especially during the year and a half shooting period of Dhoom 2, when they had started developing feelings towards each other. Aishwarya's uncomplicated nature and smiling face just made Abhishek weak in his knees.
Abhishek Bachchan proposed Aishwarya Rai in a filmy way in 2007
It was after the premiere of the film, Guru, in Toronto, when Abhishek Bachchan had proposed to Aishwarya Rai in New York, and she had immediately accepted his proposal. Abhishek had shared the details to Oprah Winfrey in the couple's first interview post their wedding. He had said:
"I was filming in New York for a movie. And, I used to stand on the balcony of my hotel room and wish that, 'One day, wouldn't it be nice if I was together with her, married.' Years later, we were there for the premiere of Guru. After the premiere, we were back in the hotel. So, I took her to the very same balcony, and I asked her to marry me."
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's with Oprah Winfrey in 2009
However, not many know Abhishek's dream proposal was sans a sparking ring, but a prop from the sets of their film, Guru. It was the same ring that he had proposed Aishwarya in Mani Ratnam's film. In fact, he had asked the producer if he could keep the ring, for sentimental reasons. In a 2010 interview with a magazine, Aishwarya had opened up on the same and had shared:
"He is original and real, like our relationship. There is nothing predictable or boring about our life. We nurture each other. The gesture was spontaneous and meaningful. God has been kind to us. We can certainly afford those standard rocks. But do we need them?"

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai's hush-hush engagement
After the formal proposal, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai were back in Mumbai and had gotten engaged on January 14, 2007, at the Bachchan's residence. After that, both the actors became a little more open about their relationship. They were even spotted going to the movies and nightclubs together. Aishwarya had also started visiting the Bachchans more often.
The troubles Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan had faced before the wedding
It is said that every story has its own ups and downs, and Abhishek and Aishwarya's love story was no different. There were a few turbulences that came their way before they had tied the knot. However, the biggest was the news of Aishwarya having a manglik dosh in her kundali (it is an astrological birth chart). Hence, she was first required to marry a tree to get rid of the manglik dosh. As regressive as that may sound, those were the stories pouring out during their wedding. A famous Brahmin Vedic had said:
"Aishwarya will have to marry either a peepal or banana tree or with an idol of Lord Vishnu (of gold or silver), in case she is manglik. Kumbh Vivah (the ritual of marrying tree to ward off evil effects of being manglik) is performed for manglik girls to ward off ill effects."
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai's beautiful wedding
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's wedding
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's wedding is still considered a fairytale affair. We all remember sitting in front of our television screens during those times and hoping to get a glimpse of the bride and the groom. Their wedding had become the 'wedding of the decade' without social media and hashtags. It was on April 20, 2007, when Aishwarya and Abhishek had exchanged the wedding vows and had left the entire nation starry-eyed. Every time, we get a glimpse of the duo together, our heart rushes a beat and we crave love like 'Abhi-Aish'.
Aishwarya Rai's 75 lakh worth wedding saree
On the wedding day, Aishwarya was looking gorgeous as a South-Indian bride. She had opted for a beautiful golden Kanjeevaram saree and her traditional jewellery had added more charm to her look. The gorgeous ensemble was made by fashion designer, Neeta Lulla, and the saree had a beautiful gold border. The saree had real gold-thread work and had a lot of crystals on it. And the price of the saree was Rs 75 Lakh, and it was one of the most expensive sarees ever.
Abhishek Bachchan's wedding look
Abhishek had complemented Aishwarya in a white sherwani with real-gold work on it. However, it is the choice of jewellery that had made his look complete and on point.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan's honeymoon
After Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's grand wedding, the duo had jetted off for a month-long honeymoon in Europe. In a media interaction, Aishwarya had revealed that when an air-hostess had called her Mrs Bachchan, she had felt that she is finally married. She had said:
"The stewardess welcomed me on board saying, 'Welcome, Mrs Bachchan.' And Abhishek and I just looked at each other and burst out laughing! And it hit me, I'm married! I'm Mrs Bachchan!"
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's age difference
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is three years older than Abhishek Bachchan. However, the age difference never became a problem between the two. In fact, their bond grew stronger with the passing of years. Today, after so many years of togetherness, they both still love each other immensely. Aishwarya had said in one of her interviews:
"Abhishek is my source of inspiration. He is always so supportive. Whenever I am confused and don't know what to do, I look at him and he solves the duality in me like magic. He is the real 'Padma Shri' and I'm his 'Padma Shrimati'."
On the other hand, this is what Abhishek thinks about his ladylove, which he had revealed during a media interaction:
"Aishwarya is my anchor. She is my buddy, my closest friend. I can discuss anything with her. Our relationship is not based on her being Aishwarya Rai or me coming from an illustrious family. It is just about two people falling in love which has organically grown. We started during Guru. It was meant to be."

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan
On November 16, 2011, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, into the world. Aishwarya rejoices every second spend with her angel, Aaradhya. She is a perfect mommy, and her daughter is her best friend, and her Instagram feed is proof of it. When the actress had made her debut on the social networking website, Instagram, she had posted a monochrome picture with Aaradhya when she was born and had captioned it as "I was born again".
The daddy cool, Abhishek Bachchan also shares a beautiful bond with his angel, Aaradhya. The little girl has been teaching Abhishek another side of being kind. She knows how to melt his heart and wrap him around her tiny finger, and the 'daddy bear' happily surrenders to his daughter's every demand. But not many know that Abhishek had gotten ear piercing all because of Aaradhya. In 2017, when the actor had graced the show, Kaun Banega Crorepati 9, he had narrated the story of his ear piercing. Abhishek had stated that he had gotten his ear pierced on Aaradhya's ear-piercing ceremony to see how painful the experience is. He didn't want the little one to get hurt.
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's home
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan reside with their parents, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan in their family home, Jalsa. However, not many know that this beautiful abode wasn't Amitabh Bachchan's own purchase, in fact, it was a gift from the iconic director, Ramesh Sippy for acting in his movie, Satte Pe Satta.
We remember in an interview, Oprah Winfrey had asked Abhishek and Aishwarya how do they live with their parents. Abhishek had interestingly asked Oprah, "Do you live with your family?" Replying to that, Oprah had said, "No", to this, the actor had said, "How does that work?"
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's relationship with her mother-in-law, Jaya Bachchan
Over the years, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has earned many titles, but she takes immense pride in being called 'Bachchan Bahu'. The entire Bachchan clan loves her humble nature and zeal to bring the entire family together. However, Aishwarya Rai shares a special bond with her mom-in-law, Jaya Bachchan.

C.A.R government imposes nationwide curfew as fears of conflict grow
FLORENT VERGNES/AFP or licensors
By Jerry Fisayo-Bambi
The Central African republic's government announced on Thursday a curfew throughout the country.
"There is a curfew throughout the Central African Republic from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.," president Faustin-Archange Touadera announced in a statement read on national radio.
The move is seen as an additional way to fight against the rebels' advance even if for the time being, it is being pushed back far from Bangui by loyalist forces, peacekeepers and some reinforcements from Russian and Rwandan fighters.
According to the peacekeeping force of the UN mission in the Central African Republic (Minusca), the rebels have not progressed for ten days, with the exception of Bangassou, 750 km east of Bangui.
In a country plagued by civil war for eight years, presidential and legislative elections were held on December 27. But the election was marred by violence.
President Archange Touadera won five more years in power. However, fighting has continued in towns nationwide since the election, with the rebels threatening to march on the capital, Bangui.
The political opposition insists Faustin-Archange Touadéra's victory lacks legitimacy. They have demanded a re-run.

Horse Tales Literacy helps children discover the joys of reading and the excitement of learning through the wonders of live horses and the Black Stallion books by Walter Farley, as well as other classic horse literature.
Our goals are to spark the imagination of first grade students so they will want to learn to read, and to motivate fourth and fifth graders so they will experience the joy of reading.
Horse Tales Literacy Foundation is an innovative partnership of educators, businesses, volunteers, education foundations, and staff members focused on promoting literacy through the winning combination of live horses and classic horse literature. The program is based on classic horse books and the natural connection between children and horses.
The project was conceived in 1999 by Farley's son, Tim (www.theblackstallion.com) and Mark Miller, owner of Arabian Nights Dinner Attraction (www.arabian-nights.com) in Kissimmee, Florida. Friends for more than 30 years, Tim and Mark share a common interest in encouraging children to read. Tim knows the influence his father's books have had on millions of children, and Mark grew up (and remains) in the company of horses – a winning combination for a program designed to motivate children to read. The Black Stallion Literacy Foundation (BSLF) began serving children in 2000. Since then, more than 400,000 children across the United States have participated in our reading programs.
Horse Tales Literacy is presently composed of both school-based and community programs, in which activities are developed around Walter Farley's and other classic horse literature. School-based programs consist of curriculum-based literacy programs for 1st and 4th-5th grades. Community programs are similarly curriculum-based literacy programs, but are turnkey embedded programs for after school and summer camp programs. All of the HTLP literacy programs are age-appropriate and aligned with both state and national standards in reading and other curriculum areas.
Received recognition as a "Daily Point of Light" by President George W. Bush and has been featured on the ABC Nightly News as the "best" motivational reading program for school-aged children.
