**Borough president** is an office in each of the five boroughs of New York City. The office holds executive powers within each borough, and the five borough presidents also sat on the New York City Board of Estimate. Since 1990, the borough presidents have been stripped of a majority of their powers in the government of New York City.

Borough presidents advise the mayor, comment on land-use items in their borough, advocate borough needs in the annual municipal budget process, appoint some officials and community board members, and serve _ex officio_ as members of many boards and committees.

## Current borough presidents

The current borough presidents were either elected or re-elected in the most recent election in 2021:

Boroughs of New York City

New York City is made up of five county-level sections called _boroughs_: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. All boroughs are part of New York City, but they are in different counties. Queens is the largest borough by land area. Brooklyn is the largest borough by population.

Boroughs have existed since the official creation of the city in 1898, when the city and each borough assumed their current boundaries. However, the boroughs have not always been part with their respective counties. Before 1914, the borough of The Bronx had been earlier in the southern part of Westchester County which had then been annexed to New York County. Before 1899, the County of Queens included an eastern part, which was split off during the formation to become Nassau County.

Each borough is represented by a Borough president.

Imagawayaki

is a Japanese dessert often found at Japanese festivals in Kanto. Traditionally it is filled with sweet azuki bean paste, but a wider variety of fillings can be used.

It is known as Obanyaki in Kansai or Jimanyaki in Nagano.
Hillerød

**Hillerød** is a city in Denmark. It's nearby Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. Hillerød has a castle named Frederiksborg castle ().
Minecart

is a short story written by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa. It was published in 1922. It is a story about a young boy who experiences the adult world for a short amount of time. Many junior high school students in Japan study this short story in class.

In 2009, a movie based on this story was released.

## Plot

Construction of a light railway has begun between Odawara and Atami, two towns in east Japan. At the construction site, workers are using minecarts for transporting earth and sand. Ryōhei, aged eight, is interested in these minecarts. One day, he pushes one of the minecarts with a construction worker. At the beginning, he is very excited. But as it gets late in the day, he starts to worry about how he will get home. After a while, the construction worker tells him to go home because it is late. Ryōhei runs down a dark hill road thinking “I  just don’t want to die”. As soon as he comes back home, he bursts into tears.

He becomes an adult and moves to Tokyo. He looks back on that time. He is tired of everyday life. Without any reason, he sometimes dreams of the dark hill road.

The story is set between Odawara and Atami. The boy describes seeing the sea on his right as he heads away from his home, and on his left on the way back. Because of this, it seems that he was moving toward Odawara from Atami.

## Additional information

Rikiishi Heizo was a journalist from Yugawara, a town between Atami and Odawara. The Atami light railway was under construction when he was a boy. Construction workers changed a human-powered railway into a light railway. Rikiishi looked back on his memory of watching this construction work and wrote it down. The story’s author, Akutagawa, embellished Rikiishi’s writing to make the story.

## Governor of Georgia

Kemp was the Republican nominee in the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election. He defeated Stacey Abrams in the general election in November 2018, but the election was controversial and many newspapers reported that he cheated.

In his first term as governor, Kemp was against forcing people to wear face mask and stay-at-home orders during the COVID-19 pandemic. After the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, he faced criticism from President Donald Trump for following the state law that had him to approve the results, despite Trump's repeated false claims of fraud in the election. In 2021, Kemp signed into law the Election Integrity Act of 2021, which expanded early in-person voting and increased the state government's control over local election officials.

In his 2022 reelection campaign, former U.S. Senator David Perdue ran against Kemp in the Republican primary. Although Trump supported Perdue, Kemp beat Perdue in a landslide. In the general election, Kemp defeated Abrams in a rematch by a wider margin than in 2018.

## Personal life

Kemp was born in Athens, Georgia to a family that had been in politics for a long time. He studied at University of Georgia.

Kemp married Marty Argo, daughter of longtime Georgia House of Representatives member Bob Argo. on January 8, 1994; They have three daughters. The family belongs to Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Athens.

2018 Pakistani general election

Pakistanis go to the polls on Wednesday, July 25, to elect another National Assembly for a five-year term. But instead of prospectively celebrating the second peaceful transition of power from one civilian government to another—which in the case of Pakistan is an important marker indeed—the general mood among observers appears to be one of great concern.
**General elections** were held in Pakistan on 25 July 2018 to elect the members of the 15th National Assembly and to the four Provincial Assemblies of Pakistan.

Most of the opinion polls suggested an overall Pakistan Muslim League (N) lead with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) being the close second. Many people are believing that the Pakistani courts and military are rigging the votes in favor of the PTI and against the PML (N).

Pakistan Tahreek e Insaaf party leader Imran Khan leads in early poll results despite calls of corruption. The allegations were denied by the Election Commission of Pakistan.

On July 27, election officials declared that Khan's party had won 109 of the 269 seats, giving PTI a majority in the National Assembly thus making Khan Prime Minister-elect. On August 15, Asad Qaiser elected as Speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan and Qasim Suri as Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan. On August 17, Imran Khan elected as Prime Minister of Pakistan
