Housing for former mill site to be discussed
Housing plan for former mill site to be discussed
By Richard Beecham Local Democracy Reporter
Councillor Simon Seary (Cons, Pudsey)
PLANS to build 21 new houses at a former mill site in Pudsey are set to go before council decision makers this week.
The application for 21 homes at South Park Mills, Hare Park Lane, Pudsey, already has outline planning permission from Leeds city Council, but the reserved matters application is set to go before this week's south and west plans panel meeting.
It follows concerns expressed by a Leeds City Councillor who claims the number of houses and the layout could have a detrimental impact on the area's character.
The proposal involves a mix of two and four bed houses with private rear gardens and off-street parking.
It would also include public open spaces, as well as improvements to nearby green space and footpaths.
But, in a letter to the panel, local councillor Simon Seary (Con) said: "I am concerned about the increase in traffic this development will create, and therefore the impact on highway safety.
"This development lies within the green belt. The layout and design are not characteristic of a rural green belt locality and the character of the area will therefore be impacted upon.
"The increased demand on local services has not been fully considered within the current plans."
A report by council officers stated that, as the site was included in the council's recently-published site allocations plan, none of the reasons were strong enough to outweigh the presumption in favour of granting permission due to national planning policy.
The report concludes: "The proposal offers good quality design and a layout that responds to the sites constraining steep ground levels whilst offering good levels of green-space.
"It is considered the proposal will provide good levels of habitation in an attractive and secluded setting. The housing proposed would act to improve the quality of the area above that of the existing industrial buildings.
"It is recommended that planning permission be granted subject to conditions set out at the head of this report and with the already secured s106 that requires the affordable housing provision, on-site green-space and the maintenance of Hares Lane."
A decision will be made at the council's south and west plans panel on Thursday.

Q: How to create a static function create table php? I created the static function create table and insert, but I do not know how to use them to different databases.
examples:
        static public function createTableA($TABLE,$DATA)
        {
            $conn=self::getConnectionA();
            $SQL="CREATE TABLE {$TABLE}";
            $SQL.=" (";
            foreach($DATA as$key)
            {
                $SQL.=$key.",";
            }
            $SQL=rtrim($SQL,",");
            $SQL.= ") ";
            $result=$conn->query($SQL);
            if(!($result))
            {
                return false;
            }
            else
            {
                return true;
            }
            mysqli_close($conn);
        }
        static public function createTableB($TABLE,$DATA)
        {
            $conn=self::getConnectionB();
            $SQL="CREATE TABLE {$TABLE}";
            $SQL.=" (";
            foreach($DATA as$key)
            {
                $SQL.=$key.",";
            }
            $SQL=rtrim($SQL,",");
            $SQL.= ") ";
            $result=$conn->query($SQL);
            if(!($result))
            {
                return false;
            }
            else
            {
                return true;
            }
            mysqli_close($conn);
        }

w in the above example I would like to create static function SQL which I could use in both databases [$conn=self::getConnectionA(); and $conn=self::getConnectionB();]
Maybe something like this???
        static public function createTable($TABLE,$DATA)
        {
            $SQL="CREATE TABLE {$TABLE}";
            $SQL.=" (";
            foreach($DATA as$key)
            {
                $SQL.=$key.",";
            }
            $SQL=rtrim($SQL,",");
            $SQL.= ") ";
            return $SQL;
        }
        static public function createTableA($TABLE,$DATA)
        {
            $conn=self::getConnectionA();
            $sql=self::createTable($TABLE,$DATA);
            $result=$conn->query($sql);
            if(!($result))
            {
                return false;
            }
            else
            {
                return true;
            }
            mysqli_close($conn);
        }
        static public function createTableB($TABLE,$DATA)
        {
            $conn=self::getConnectionB();
            $sql=self::createTable($TABLE,$DATA);
            $result=$conn->query($sql);
            if(!($result))
            {
                return false;
            }
            else
            {
                return true;
            }
            mysqli_close($conn);
        }

I am asking for a constructive opinion on this topic and proposals for a better solution, just please, examples of the code in the answers ,thanks and best regards.

A: Perhaps something more like this.
I cleaned it up to be a little less verbose, let me know if it isn't clear. But the main thing is just to allow the connection choice to be a parameter like TABLE and DATA are, calling it with 'A' or 'B'.
static public function _createTable($TABLE,$DATA)
{
    $SQL="CREATE TABLE {$TABLE}";
    $SQL.=" (";
    foreach($DATA as$key)
    {
        $SQL.=$key.",";
    }
    $SQL=rtrim($SQL,",");
    $SQL.= ") ";
    return $SQL; // edit, added this
}
static public function createTable($CONN,$TABLE,$DATA)
{
    switch($CONN){
      case 'A':
        $conn = self::getConnectionA();
        break;
      case 'B':
        $conn = self::getConnectionB();
        break;
    }
    $sql=self::_createTable($TABLE,$DATA);
    $result=$conn->query($sql);
    mysqli_close($conn);
    return (bool) $result;
}

Their 70 years of experience in the sector have already helped them to make a stir with their new customers.
The new online casino has been several months in development, with concentration specifically focused on making it work for the Italian market; meaning that there are some cultural inclusions that make in a shade different from its counterpart in the United Kingdom.

Why Reagan Remains Highly Relevant Almost 30 Years Later
Lee Edwards	/ @LeeWEdwards / May 15, 2018
President Ronald Reagan led America out of a psychological depression caused by the Vietnam War, the Watergate scandal, and the Jimmy Carter presidency. (Photo: akg-images/Newscom)
Lee Edwards / @LeeWEdwards
Lee Edwards is the distinguished fellow in conservative thought at The Heritage Foundation's B. Kenneth Simon Center for Principles and Politics. A leading historian of American conservatism, Edwards has published 25 books, including "Just Right: A Life in Pursuit of Liberty."
Have you noticed? Liberals are counseling conservatives to be "realistic" and no longer look to Ronald Reagan for answers to the problems of 2018 and beyond.
After all, they say, he was elected president nearly four decades ago, when the Cold War was still being waged and stagflation was strangling the economy.
Reagan ideas like supply side economics and maintaining a defense establishment second to none, they say, are no longer relevant in a global economy and in the absence of an aggressive adversary like the Soviet Union.
Well, extreme caution should be exercised when a long-time adversary offers you advice. To paraphrase an old maxim—beware of liberals bearing gifts.
Still, when even friends suggest the same thing, a prudent man will ask himself whether the suggestion has any merit. Yes, Reagan was a great president, one of the two great presidents of the 20th century, but this is the 21st century. Unquestionably, the world has changed—it is no longer bipolar, politically or economically.
However, before consigning our 40th president to the history books, we would do well to examine a few of his accomplishments, determine what ideas guided them, and ask whether those ideas are still relevant.
First, through his personal charisma and his belief in the exceptionalism of America, Reagan restored Americans' confidence in themselves and their future. As the social philosopher Michael Novak put it, "He awakened the better angels of our nature."
Reagan led America out of a great psychological depression caused by the Vietnam War, the Watergate scandal, and the misery index of the Jimmy Carter presidency.
Second, Reagan applied the principle of limited government to the economy, cutting taxes and initiating other supply side measures such as deregulation and reduced federal spending, which produced an unprecedented period of economic prosperity lasting well into the 1990s.
He insisted that if you reduced tax rates and allowed people to spend or save more of what they earned, "they'll be more industrious, they'll have more incentive to work hard, and money they earn will add fuel to the great economic machine that energizes our national progress."
As a result, during the 1980s, economic growth averaged 4.6 percent annually, the gross national product doubled, and 17 million new jobs were created.
Third, Reagan ended the 40-year Cold War by winning it. He did it through a policy of "peace through strength," a concept first articulated by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
This Reagan Doctrine was a prudent foreign policy that included a strong national defense, U.S. support of pro-freedom forces in Afghanistan and Nicaragua, a firm commitment to the Strategic Defense Initiative—which the Soviets could not match—aid to Poland's Solidarity movement and similar anti-communist groups behind the Iron Curtain, and a sustained diplomatic offensive led by Reagan, who famously predicted in 1982 that Marxism-Leninism was headed for the ash heap of history.
Before the decade was out, Soviet communism in Eastern and Central Europe had collapsed and two years later, the Soviet Union—the "evil empire"—dissolved.
To summarize these accomplishments and the ideas upon which they were based: (1) Reagan restored public confidence in American ideals and institutions through his optimism and can-do spirit; (2) he ignited a historic period of economic growth through commonsense economics—tax cuts, deregulation, reduced government spending, and low inflation; and (3) he ended America's longest war by winning it through a prudent foreign policy based on America's founding principles and backed by our capabilities.
Do the ideas of patriotism and American exceptionalism, commonsense economics, and peace through strength still make sense? Of course they do.
Are Reagan and his presidency still relevant? Of course they are.
Should we apply his principles to help preserve a sound national defense and encourage a sound economy today? Absolutely.
Should we advise our liberal friends that the way back to the White House and a congressional majority for them is to forget about Franklin D. Roosevelt and his four-term presidency? Without a doubt. It's imperative to be relevant, you know.


Looked at different stores as I wanted to see my options and it was my first time purchasing a mattress. Mattress Mattress was the only store who provided friendly, helpful and no pressure service. Staff is extremely well educated and SUPER helpful in helping with my decision. Buying a new bed can be pretty overwhelming with so many selections and types, but they provided all the information I needed whether you are on a lower or higher budget. Allen and Mo are amazing, very knowledgeable, non judgmental and provided privacy for me to discuss what to get. Truly amazing experience! HIGHLY recommend Mattress Mattress to any friends or family who are looking to buy a mattress. They make the experience simply and educational to choose the best bed!


This post is inspired by a caption, which appeared in a newspaper supplement and drew my attention. It read: 'I had prepared for the Asian Games, but didn't expect to win.' Why would a sportsperson enter a competition undetermined to win? The individual might have genuine personal reasons for being less hopeful. But I believe that the environment also kindles and fans this type of hopelessness.
Similar tweaking in the reporting of events in other walks of our daily lives can bring about a pleasant change in the way we start our days. That is a subject of another post, another day.
It was nearing midnight when Chhaya Chordia completed her round of the hostels. She was the Director (Hostels) and resided on the campus of Amity University, Noida. Random visits were her way of feeling the pulse of the hostels. They gave her insights into the problems of the students. Sometimes she would come across pranksters or stumble upon cases of indiscipline. Then there were cases, which belonged to the grey zone––one would wonder whether or not to treat them as flouting of norms. In over a dozen years in the business, she had developed a knack of resolving the issues of the young adults.
Today was a day when she would use that knack.
The wardens and the assistant wardens had submitted their 'All Correct' reports. There was silence in the corridors. Most students had gone to sleep; some were studying and some others were netsurfing. Occasionally, a student would step out to fill a bottle of drinking water. Peace prevailed.
Chhaya stepped out of the hostel to return to her residence when she saw someone walking towards the hostel. He had a carry-bag in his hand. She hailed him.
"You are II Year B Tech Biotech student," Chhaya cut him short. "You are supposed to be in your room. What are you doing here on the road at this unearthly hour?
Back at her residence, Chhaya took out some food from the refrigerator and heated it. She baked some chapatis. Then laying out the food on a tray, she told the attendant, "Malati, take this to room number 2 LGF of Boys' Hostel-6. Amit Sharma is the name of the student.
At 11:00 am in the Hostel Office.
I had just been introduced to this new hobby. I had started with a few coins, which my grandfather had given me. I had not seen them in common use. Some were shapeless and not as shiny as the coins I was used to seeing. I washed them with soap and water but there was no improvement in the looks. I tried other cleaning materials to no avail.
"How do I shine my coins?" Now, this was a worry wearying me out. I was five then.
"Coins! Petrol! Cleaner! Eureka!" I had stumbled upon a solution to the nagging problem that had taken away my sleep. "I will clean my coins to a sparkle and surprise everyone," I was determined.
"I would need a very small quantity of petrol to clean my coins. Where do I get it from?" The solution to the subsidiary problem came instantly. We had a moped.
Where there is a will there is a way. I took a piece of sponge fastened it to a metal wire and lowered it into the petrol tank, dipped it in petrol and pulled the wire. It wasn't easy.
I ran inside our house and fetched a matchbox. I took out a matchstick and struck to ignite. I failed to light it. It was destined that way. Before I could strike the match a second time, I saw my eldest brother approaching.
A word about my eldest brother: Born on December the 25th he has been a guardian angel to us, the younger siblings––warding off our troubles.
I staggered when I saw him approaching. Not that I was afraid of him; I loved and adored him. Just that I did not want to seek his help in this endeavour. I wanted to go it alone and surprise everyone.
I shelved the project for sometime.
In due course, I had other pressing issues to deal with––my homework, a game of football with my friends in the neighbourhood…. Coins, sponge and petrol were forgotten. A big tragedy was averted.
Not really! When it strikes again the second time, my guardian angel would not be around to steer the path for me. I leave that story for another day.
Anything can ignite a child's mind.
In the early sixties one anna used to be big money for a little kid in a small sleepy town like Ujjain. It was equal to six naye paise. It had the power to buy half a dozen candies, or to hire a bicycle for an hour, or to buy a bus ticket to travel half way across the city. An anna wrapped in appreciation could do much more.
Read on to truly appreciate the power of the copper-nickel coin.
I was barely five then. Dr Lalit Khanna had given me the coin in appreciation of a poem I had copied on my slate at the behest of my sister under whose tutelage I had learnt to form the letters of alphabet. I had gone around showing off my handwriting to every moving thing in my small world. I was fishing for compliments. Dr Khanna appreciated my handwriting amidst a group of three adults as he presented the coin to me.
When I grew up, I realised that there was nothing great about how I had written the poem that day. My handwriting wasn't all that beautiful; I had just arranged the letters and words neatly in straight lines. Dr Khanna, the great motivator that he used to be, wanted to encourage me. The reward let my innocent mind believe that my handwriting was actually beautiful.
It marked a turning point in my life. That moment onwards, everything became a writing instrument and I used all the blank spaces on any piece of paper that I came across, to write. Writing became a passion. The word 'calligraphy' entered my vocabulary much later in life, after the art had become my hobby.
Thanks to Dr Khanna, I have a cherished hobby.
Puneet happens to be a gem of a jeweller friend––a burly figure; used to weigh 20 stones at one time. Although much less at 18 stones, he is no less burly; can easily eclipse two of my size. I just met him and told him about my blog He was amused when I told him about the Section on "Being Parent" and about some of the posts contained therein.
Puneet has a way of calming the child. "First I tell her that the stud fitted in her first earlobe is looking pretty. If she doesn't get the stud in her second ear, she would look funny. I show off my own studs and her mother's earrings. If this effort does not calm her, I show her a mirror." He says that children, girls in particular have a decent opinion about themselves; they wish to look pretty, always. They stop crying when they look at themselves in the mirror.


When you are offered by a constructor to install a drywall ceiling design, you feel bad about it due to the expensive price. Many people are not willing to spend a lot of money just to adorn the ceiling. They believe that ceiling is not an important thing in the home decoration. Most of them focus more on the wall, floor and furniture pieces. There is no need to wonder that ceiling is lack of decoration. You need to know that the opinion is very wrong because drywall-ceiling designs are superb and impressive. It is considered as one of the best ways to make the ceiling as the focal point in the house. After you spot the drywall ceiling, you will change your mind about the beauty of the house. It increases the class, style and house design instantly.
Now decide whether you want to choose the drywall ceiling design or simple ceiling design. Both are very different. The latter one is characterized with simple flat ceiling design painted in cold white color. It looks perfect for decorating the house with the focal point on the fireplace and wall. If the room is lack of focal point, you can introduce the drywall ceiling design to take the important role. It seems that the lack of focal point makes the house boring and cold.
Drywall ceiling design has excellent beauty because the flat ceiling is no longer spotted. You can create a circular effect on the ceiling, which evokes a stylish optical illusion. The black and white color can be added to support the view. You can also get the rectangular drywall to set on the center of the ceiling.
Drywall ceiling design is not cheap. Are you willing to spend a lot of money to get this type of decoration right away on the ceiling of your house? The price of the drywall ceiling depends on the degree of complexity of job. If you choose the ornate one, you have to spend more money to get it.


I am a firm believer that if you ever feel like a given year has been a "weak year" for movies, you probably just haven't seen enough movies. It's a conclusion I've come to after broadening my own movie watching routines and tastes. There are always diamonds in the rough – movies that didn't get talked about or weren't found at your local multiplex that are absolutely fantastic.
I think the same can be said for acting performances, and I believe Kathryn Hahn's lead performance in Private Life is one of this year's diamonds in the rough.
The reason this movie wasn't at your local theater is pretty simple – it's a Netflix film. As such, you might think it's been widely viewed and discussed. While I've certainly seen rave reviews for the film on certain circles of Twitter, I don't feel that it has been widely discussed in general.
More relevant to this discussion, however, is the fact that Hahn has not found her name on the shortlist for awards consideration – at least not yet. Hahn did receive a nomination for Best Actress from the Gotham Awards, but she failed to receive the equivalent nomination from the Film Independent Spirit Awards. For her to receive any kind of Oscar buzz, she would need to pick up quite a bit of momentum here at the early stages of the race. The uneven performance so far is unfortunate, because I think Hahn's performance is clearly one of the year's best.
First off, if you haven't seen Private Life, I highly encourage you to go watch it right now on Netflix. Often when discussing the acting races, it helps an actor or actress if their film is well-regarded. That's not always a necessary component, but it certainly helps.
With Private Life, you have a film about a subject that doesn't often make its way to the movies – fertility issues. Recently, I've heard from friends who have gone through fertility issues of their own talk about how the subject just isn't discussed enough. People in that incredibly difficult situation often feel that they are alone. That nobody else is going through this. The reality is that many people have had similar struggles of their own. That this film chose to tackle this subject should be applauded.
What makes this such an incredible film is that it uses that important topic as an avenue into so much more. In many ways, this is a film about mortality in general, and the prisms through which we view our lives. I loved Catherine Shoard's fantastic interview of Hahn and director Tamara Jenkins in The Guardian where they both talked about how the film handles such large and difficult subjects. That it does so in such an empathetic and nuanced way makes it one of the year's best films, in my opinion.
On top of that, the fact that it is directed by Jenkins in particular is even more reason to consider Hahn an awards contender. Jenkins has awards pedigree herself – she wrote and directed the 2007 dramedy The Savages which went on to garner Oscar nominations for Best Screenplay (Jenkins) and Best Actress (Laura Linney). The nomination for Linney is especially key here, and I think it outlines a path that Hahn could conceivably follow. And already this year Jenkins has received a Best Director nod from the Spirits and a Best Screenplay nod from the Gothams.
Put it all together, and you have a strong film with a strong narrative surrounding it. That should be a solid foundation on which Hahn's awards run could be built. But you can't compete for an acting award if your performance doesn't hold up. You have to stand out, and I believe that Hahn's performance does just that.
Even if you don't think you are, you're probably familiar with Kathryn Hahn. Her IMDB page is riddled with memorable comedic roles in films like Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and Step Brothers. Personally, my favorite role of hers prior to seeing her in Private Life was her run on the TV show Parks and Recreation as Jennifer Barkley, the campaign manager for Nick Newport. No matter where you've seen her, odds are that it's been in a comedic role. That makes sense, because her comedic timing is incredible. She has a gift for comedy, and it's no wonder that her talent has led her to such roles.
While her comedic talent certainly makes its way into Private Life at times, it is her ability to play against that type that makes her performance so memorable.
In the film, Rachel Biegler (Hahn) and her husband, Richard Grimes (Paul Giamatti), are a middle-aged couple who are desperate for a child. They've tried everything. Now, they are attempting in vitro fertilization. The process is excruciating, and it compels them to make a decision that neither one of them saw coming. This decision provides the basis for much of the film's plot.
Certainly that would be a difficult situation for any couple. It doesn't jump out at you as being a situation rife with comedic opportunities, and there are certainly parts of the film that are just heartbreaking. At the same time, there are aspects of the situation that are so frustrating that they become funny in a "throw up your hands" sort of way. Like, when you've tried everything and you still aren't having results, is it time to just accept that nature is playing some kind of sick joke?
A conversation between Rachel and Richard about whether or not their risqué painting will offend the adoption agent coming over to their apartment is just such an interaction. These are the moments where Hahn's incredible comedic talent elevate the material.
But if that's all she brought to the table, the film wouldn't completely work. This film is a dramedy in the truest sense of the word. There's some comedy, yes, but you have to be able to bring the dramatic chops too. Hahn does this in spades.
Especially in the film's early scenes as Rachel and Richard navigate the healthcare and fertility systems, Hahn's dramatic talent is on full display. Watch her reactions to her husband and to the doctors in the film's early scenes. You learn so much about her as a character through those reactions. They are subtle cues, so much so that I needed a second watch to catch some of them. But, as the film continues and we learn more of Rachel's backstory, Hahn's choices in the early portions of the film become that much more resonant.
Part of the issue, as it always is with Netflix, is the streaming giant's promotion of its own movies, or lack thereof. I had to type P-R-I-V into the search bar before it even came up. It wasn't on the home screen and it wasn't even on the "Netflix Originals" bar even though I scrolled all the way through. Despite all that, you must not miss this film. If you do, you'd be missing one of the year's best performances from Kathryn Hahn.


USAIN BOLT is attempting to become a professional footballer - and former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey admits he wishes the pair could swap careers.
The retired sprinter has made no secret of his footballing ambitions in the past and he's been training with Australian side Central Coasts Mariners since last month.
Bolt has spoken before of his desire to play for Manchester United, the club he supports, and he's looking to prove himself in the A-League.
The 32-year-old made his debut for the Gosford-based club in a friendly in August, terrifying defenders with his pace down the left wing.
Heskey scored more than 100 Premier League goals for various clubs, including Liverpool, Leicester and Aston Villa.
The former England international spent two years down under, scoring 10 times for Newcastle Jets.
And Heskey has lauded Bolt for trying his hand at football, insisting he'd take up sprinting if he could.
"Why not?" he exclusively told Starsport when asked about the Jamaican's career change.
"If I could be a sprinter, an over 40s sprinter, I'd try that.
"He's a phenomenal athlete, isn't he?
"If he feels that he can play football and he's at a reasonable level, why not?
"It's a great opportunity for him to play in a good league as well.
"I enjoyed my time in Australia, great memories and great people down there and they love their football.
"I think for the profile it's great for the league.
Bolt remains on trial at Central Coast Mariners and it's unclear if he's set to be offered a professional contract.
The new A-League season gets underway on 19th October.
GOALS' Restart Game campaign aims to get more people active through playing five-a-side football at its 46 clubs across the UK.

Kabul Restaurant Owner Forced to Permanently Close Under Taliban Rule
A Kabul restaurant owner has finally closed his business after struggling under Taliban rule for months.
Laziz Mahal was underperforming as many Afghans can't afford to eat out anymore.
With the Taliban in control, the owner said authorities show no support for small businesses.
When the Taliban took over Afghanistan's capital, Kabul, last year, the lives of many Afghans were changed forever.
girls were forbidden from attending school and women were banned from taking flights without the company of a male relative. food insecurity has also become a pressing issue. In March 2022, the secretary-general of the United Nations, António Guterres, pledged international support in an attempt to avert a starvation crisis in Afghanistan.
"Without immediate action, we face a starvation and malnutrition crisis in Afghanistan," Guterres said at a conference.
For Mojeburahman Musleh, the owner of a fast-food restaurant in Kabul, business came to a steady halt under the Taliban rule. Sales at his establishment, Laziz Mahal, dropped 80% and Musleh struggled to pay for the running costs of his business.
The regime change made everything worse for him, he said. But the hardships didn't stop there.
"We could not bear expenses that were loading down our shoulders every month," Musleh told Insider. These costs included tax and rent, which had to be paid off even though there was no revenue, I added.
As much as Musleh tried to keep his business afloat, he said he was forced to shut the restaurant down for good this year.
According to Musleh, "nowadays, people can't afford to eat outside the house." While walking around Kabul, he said he has noticed a line of beggars begging for a loaf of bread, since the Taliban assumed control.
When Afghanistan was seized by the Taliban, bank withdrawals were severely limited due to a shortage of paper money. Millions of Afghans suffered financially as a result.
A lack of food and vital supplies caused further concerns. Earlier this year, the United Nations said nearly 9 million people are at risk of famine and up to one million children could die from the cold weather conditions and hunger, and in December 2021, the World Food Program reported that 98% of Afghans don't have enough food to eat.
In addition, for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, more than 24.4 million people in Afghanistan need immediate humanitarian assistance to survive.
In an attempt to combat the dire conditions, Afghans have resorted to selling their kidneys. Some told Insider they donated a dangerous amount of blood and might be forced to sell their plasma to feed their families. There have also been reports of people selling their children.
In response to the country's devastation, President Joe Biden recently signed an executive order to release frozen funds worth $7 billion sought by the Taliban. The funds will be split between humanitarian relief in Afghanistan and families of 9/11 victims.
But many ordinary workers continue to face financial problems.
In Mushleh's case, small businesses were severely hit when the Taliban came into power. "There is no support for small businesses from authorities. They don't care about your situation." All the authorities care about is people paying the operating costs, regardless of whether they earning anything or not, according to Musleh.
Musleh said he couldn't see his business heading in a positive direction in the near future. This forced him to shut up shop entirely and forget the idea of being able to run a business in Afghanistan.
Musleh plans to find a job with a fixed-term contract to support himself, moving forward, but "the future looks gloomy," he said.

It's not easy being a woman living with HIV. But as the world celebrated International Womens Day on Monday, several HIV positive women have been declaring their status and a strong network of over 1,000 has been setting up self-help groups and initiating savings schemes for them.
Manisha, a counsellor with the Access to Care and Treatment programme of Network of People living with HIV in Pune, said 1,826 HIV positive women have registered with the network. "There are 13 self-help groups and each group has around 15 women who contribute Rs 50 every month. This initiative has helped five groups of women open bank accounts and loan applications are already meeting with approval," she said.
Sevekari said their interventions have helped bring these women together. "They know how to enrol in the Anti Retroviral Treatment (ART) programme and maintain a diary. Earlier, they did not declare their status. But now women are enquiring about each others health, she said.
Dr D B Kadam, in-charge of the ART Centre at Sassoon General Hospital, said a total of 5,470 people are on ART and this intervention has helped bring down the viral load. Doctors have also encouraged people living with HIV to follow a nutritious diet, he said.


By now, 46 years after the original series' September 1966 debut, one might imagine that every conceivable aspect of "Star Trek" lore and memorabilia has been mined and merchandised.
Not quite. Next week, Burbank-based film-music label La-La Land Records will release a 15-CD boxed set of music from the original "Star Trek" series: every note that was written and recorded for the sci-fi drama, more than 17 hours of music in all and retailing for $225.
Although music for the daytime soap "Dark Shadows" got a similarly deluxe treatment in 2004, this is perhaps the first time that the score for a classic, primetime network series has received such a lavish (and complete) presentation.
"This is a rare case where the collectors' market is big enough that it could finance a proper restoration," says album producer Lukas Kendall, who oversaw the project and brought several parties to the table including CBS, which controls all things "Star Trek," and GNP Crescendo, the label that had previously released several "Trek" albums.
"I think I speak for a lot of 'Star Trek' fans and film-music fans when I say we just wanted to hear every note of music," Kendall adds.
Once the deal was struck, GNP Crescendo relinquished control of the original "Trek" tapes — mostly on quarter-inch tape, some dating back to 1965 — and digital transfers began.
Kendall, meanwhile, consulted all the handwritten original scores by composers including Alexander Courage (who penned the familiar fanfare and theme), Fred Steiner ("Perry Mason"), Sol Kaplan ("The Spy Who Came in From the Cold"), George Duning ("Picnic") and Gerald Fried ("Roots").
Luckily, CBS retained extensive paperwork from original producing studios Desilu and Paramount, notes fellow producer and "Trek" aficionado Neil S. Bulk, who waded through all of the many recording sessions to assemble the various scores in proper order.
Also consulting throughout the four-month editing and assembly process was Jeff Bond, author of the book "The Music of 'Star Trek,'" who penned the extensive notes that accompany the set.
It's a very different style of scoring than exists today, Bond says. "Music had to give a sense that you were really out in space on this giant ship with these heroic characters. The music played an integral part in convincing the audience that all this was happening." It was all done with orchestras averaging just 25 players.
La-La Land will unveil the new box Monday at 7:30 p.m. at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. Bond will moderate a discussion with "Star Trek" writer David Gerrold ("The Trouble With Tribbles") and composer Fried. Classic episodes "Amok Time" and "Mirror, Mirror" will be screened.
Fried, 84, is the only survivor among the original "Trek" composers and still plays oboe. At the event, he will perform a suite for oboe and piano based on eight themes he wrote for the series.

Leaders plan ritual for 2010 World Cup
Source: Agencies | October 24, 2009, Saturday | Print Edition
SOUTH African traditional leaders plan to perform ritual animal slaughters to bless stadiums for the 2010 World Cup tournament in June.
Zolani Mkiva, chairman of the Makhonya Royal Trust, a grouping responsible for co-ordinating cultural activities, said the tournament, the first to be held in Africa, needed to be blessed in true "African style". "We must have a cultural ceremony of some sort, where we are going to slaughter a beast (cow)," said Mkiva. "We sacrifice the cow for this great achievement and we call on our ancestors to bless, to grace, to ensure that all goes well. It's all about calling for the divinity to prevail for a fantastic atmosphere."


How did CarolinasUnite come about?
SCACCA and NCAF first partnered in 2008 to bring together animal welfare professionals for education and networking. In 2013 the two organizations formed what is now known as CarolinasUnite. This was an effort to make a bigger impact and offer higher quality training for industry professionals. Over the years, the combined efforts of SCACCA and NCAF have attracted more a more diverse vendor base and high quality speakers for attendees. In addition, this partnership allows us to leverage our resources and offer attendees the opportunity to learn in a beautiful environment, away from the stresses of the job. The shared knowledge and efforts of the two organizations has created improved training opportunities for professionals in both states.
During their spare time, these folks work on bringing you to the most relevant and up-to-date topics from the best speakers possible.
"Animal care and control is a crazy and fun adventure. You never know what is going to come out of each day, you just have to enjoy the ride."

Here (http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64314)'s a thread I started a while ago with some of my stuff. Also check for some more in my Project Log.
Well... my Cawdor gang is freshly stripped and ready for repainting. I'm still trying to decide if I should give NMM a whirl for the gang. Either way I should get to work on them soon. As for my Van Saar gang, the bits just arrived yesterday so it may be awhile before I can show them off. Arbites are last on the list.
Some awesome gs work in that gang mate. Is that heavy weapon bloke carrying a heavy stubber or is it something else?
I like this thread, though (hence the bump) - I'll post up the beginnings of my painted gang later on this weekend (might stop me from neglecting them so much, too).
Heh I will do some picks up of my ash waste nomads.
The thing I have started to do with this gang is place magnets into the hands of my guys and weapons to be able to weapon swap to my hearts content.
Sorry I couldn't get a better pic.
30 guys, 2 missile launchers, 1 heavy stubber, 1 plasma, 2 bolters, 24 with lasguns.
Just built 16 more cultists today.
Great..now I have to redo my necromunda gang. Actually, I got to make one, but I don't play anymore..oh well I'll see what I can do and post it.
Need to make myself some autoguns.
What did you use for the bottom half of your models?
Here's three of my old gangs: The bridge players on tour (spyrers), redemptionists and the ninjas!
I've already posted my gang, but i think that this thread is more apropriate.
By the way I just finished my H.Plasma.
Squats! Sweet! :D What they count as? Orlock?
we (our local group of the time) took the 2nd ed 40k statlines and point costs x10, gave them logical skill sets to choose from and away i went!
I retired them after that, and used them in games of 40k!
I'll try and find their old gang sheet.
I believe that one of the necromunda magazines had the rules for squat miner gangs in. these were quite similar to my groups rules.
Got distracted by the awesome stunties! I miss Squats. They need to come back to 40k. At least as an allied contingent. Total mercenary ideal I reckon.
hers mine,enforcers! best pic i have at time..
No pictures of my actual gang, but these are the models I use.

Sewing Programme
Vision for Children
This is an architect's impression of the new school which COFAPRI is planning to build for the local children.
Building a Village School
We believe that by providing children with education, opportunities become available outside their current situation, as it then becomes a tool for development and self-dependence.
Currently, COFAPRI is sponsoring the education (fees and school materials) of 300 children scattered in six schools in the villages.
COFAPRI has ambitions to engage all the people in rural areas in education, with more focus on the youth. Helping the youth to get school education is building a solid foundation for a future community; this can successfully address discrimination, illiteracy and poverty for a brighter future.
We also aim to reconstruct the cultural attitudes present in the DRC that have had negative outcomes. We believe that children in education not only gain self-confidence, but also internalise gender equality and the reality that they can live without the perpetration of discrimination and hatred.
COFAPRI has always hoped to start a school for children who don't have access to education, many of whom are those born to raped mothers and who therefore suffer discrimination. These children are our priority.
However, many other children come from very poor families that cannot afford school education for their children due to poverty.
Moreover, the children who do go to school cover long distances to reach a school - they walk through valleys and cross rivers and forests, with the risk of being raped or abducted to join the militia who are still operational around the villages.
Parents have been repeatedly asking for the school, because they understand the risks the children go through by covering long distances to get to school.
We expect to have between 25 and 30 children in each class, with three classes to begin with. The majority of the pupils will be girls - as the majority of victims of discrimination are girls.
With the 3 classes to start with, the children will start from age 6 to 7 in primary one and will leave when they complete the six years of primary education, at around age 12 to 13). But there are also special children who are older than this required age frame. They failed to attend school due to poverty or discrimination. Their age might vary compared to the standard age to start school education.
As we'll begin with three classes, we'll need three teachers and a head teacher. Also an accountant, a gardener (also in charge of cleanliness at school) and a sentinel for security. Maybe also an auxiliary teacher to replace any absentee teacher in class. All these people will come from the village.
COFAPRI will run the school via a headmaster. The parents will also be involved in the school management.
COFAPRI will look after the school administration. There will be no rent to pay since COFAPRI will build the school on its own land.
As the COFAPRI school will start with three classes, the children will be helped by COFAPRI to enroll in secondary schools in the area. But COFAPRI plans to be building one classroom a year until there are six primary classes and six secondary classes and so all the children will be studying in the COFAPRI school premises.
Village School of Hope
Sponsoring Education
COFAPRI sponsors the school education of 300 children this school year 2019/2020
COFAPRI worked hand in hand with UK charity Thare Machi Education (TME) from October 2015 to June 2018. The total number of the people with whom COFAPRI screened TME's interactive DVDs in the villages of DR Congo is 36,029.
We are using TME's educational DVDs to help people to constructively improve their behaviour patterns and living conditions; they also help the people to be aware of harmful diseases and ways to avoid them. The themes in the DVDs are various and are highly appreciated by the people who have watched them. In schools, the programme is very much liked by school leaders, as we often work with them on a weekly basis. It is the same in hospitals and health centres.
COFAPRI is also involved in close collaboration with Sharon Multani, founder of the organisation It's A Girl Thing. This amazing organisation is helping rural women and girls in the DR Congo to better understand ways to improve their living during their periods. It is in this way that they are distributed reusable FEMpads, bras and pants in order for them to improve their hygienic conditions. These FEMpads and pants are helping a lot of girls in school, as they no more miss classes and examinations during their periods. Before this support came in, many of the girls used to miss out classes and exams for almost a week, until their periods were over.
Soon, with sustainable support of Sharon, these women will be making their own FEMpads, as they already have a sewing centre.
Challenges to education in DR Congo
The DRC government has done little to help the children born of rape and those born in destitute families; children born of rape have been discriminated against and have been abandoned.
This situation has the potential to dangerously escalate as these children may later join armed groups, thus continuing the cycle of conflict and sexual violence towards women. Others may choose to become bandits and thieves, which is still a social burden and the cause of more insecurity in the villages.
The mothers of these children remain neglected and are not involved in any education (formal or informal); the result is the inability to rebuild their lives following the adverse effects of the DRC's ongoing conflict and domestic violence.
The average costs for primary school is USD $60 per academic year in rural areas (higher in cities). Secondary school costs around USD $120 per year. Boarding schools are available, but often parents are unable to afford the fee, which is approximately USD $1200 per year; boarding school allows children to study in better circumstances as they do not have to take the long (and sometimes dangerous) journey to and from school.
Education in the DRC is experiencing little momentum because it is parents who are charged with the responsibility of providing teacher salaries, both in public and private education.
Most of the children in rural areas cannot attend school as some families live with such high levels of poverty that they cannot pay school fees. In other instances, parents refuse to send their daughters to school due to the traditional belief that they will simply not perform well and instead would provide their parents with an unwanted financial burden.
Finally, schools are scattered in the mountains of the DR Congo. This makes it hard for younger children to attend school. They often go to school with no meal, the same when back. In such conditions, they also cover long distances on foot. So, many children abandon school because of famine and fatigue. Walking long ways in mountains and swamps is also risky because children can be kidnapped and be taken into militia, and young girls may be raped and taken to be sex slaves by fighters.

RENTON — Shaquem Griffin was flying around the field. He was catching passes with one hand, the only one he has.
He wasn't just moving. He was attacking. The Seattle Seahawks' rookie linebacker was slapping teammates on their backs with his shorter left arm. He was bobbing up and down, making his dreadlocks bounce.
And it was only warmups and walking drills. Walking through the start of a minicamp practice. In early May.
The Seahawks can only imagine what their fifth-round draft choice like no other does with all his pent-up aggression and prove-it mentality once the season gets real in four months.
"Shaquem was very aggressive. He was trying to run through (everything)," coach Pete Carroll said following the Griffin's first NFL day Friday. "We had to slow him down some early in the practice. In the walk-throughs he was going too hard.
"We had to chill him out a little bit."
The world that didn't already know learned last week of Griffin's story of having to have his left hand amputated when he was 4 years old because of a congenital disorder known as amniotic band syndrome. It occurs in about one out of every 1,200 births.
The world learned Griffin's story of growing up in lock-step with twin brother Shaquill, a Seahawks' starting cornerback, through childhood and through college. Of Shaquem, the American Athletic Conference's defensive player of the year at Central Florida in 2016, being the first one-handed player drafted into the modern NFL — and reunited in Seattle with his twin after 2017, the only year they've ever been apart.
Friday, to begin their rookie minicamp, the Seahawks learned that even in no helmet, no pads and nowhere near an opponent or game, Shaquem Griffin doesn't do half speed.
"It's been a whirlwind. But that's over with now," Griffin said following the two-hour practice with 70 rookies, undrafted free agents and other prospects along Lake Washington.
"It's time to get to work, and make sure I give high competition, make sure the coaches see who I am."
Who he is now is a rookie outside linebacker the Seahawks are putting on the weak side in their 4-3 scheme, the backup to veteran K.J. Wright — who has one year remaining on his contract.
Griffin's experience playing safety and his 4.36 speed in the 40-yard dash — the fastest by a linebacker at the NFL combine since 2003 — showed Friday. On multiple plays, he deftly turned his shoulders and dropped 20 yards into the middle of the defensive secondary to cover tight ends and slot receivers.
Even his position drills were remarkable. The 22-year-old Floridian, who's been told his whole life he shouldn't be able to, caught passes fired at him by coaches from 5 yards away during drills for pass-coverage. He did it as smoothly and routinely as all the other nine linebackers on the field.
At one point, an assistant coach sternly admonished Griffin for letting a tight end get behind him down the middle of the field.
After practice ended, Carroll called Griffin over to him at the center of the field. Coach and rookie talked for a moment face-to-face. Then Carroll pulled Griffin into him with a warm hug around the back of the linebacker's head and neck.
"It's a tremendous honor to be here," Griffin said. "It's everything that I've thought about. Having the coaches and having that family vibe. They are not here to get mad at you. They are here to coach you and make you a better player. That's the vibe that we got today.
"The competition has just been great. Everyone out here is auditioning. Everyone is fighting to get on the 53-man roster. That's why I don't want anyone getting (past) me. No spots are a given out there. You've got to work your butt off."
When asked what the highlight was of that whirlwind since he made NFL history by the Seahawks drafting him — amid interview requests from as far away as China — Griffin said it was a congratulatory comment from actress Megan Good.
"That was pretty cool. I watch a lot of her movies," he said. "She said, 'Congratulations, Young King.' That was..."
Then Griffin just shrugged, almost sheepishly. It was the only time he looked boyish on Friday.
This Young King looked bigger than he was at the combine in March, especially in his shoulders and chest. He confirmed after practice he indeed weighed more, to bulk up some. He said he needs to check in next with the Seahawks' trainers and staff to ensure he's at the weight they want him to be.
He's listed by the team at 6 feet and 227 pounds, the same listing he had officially at the combine.
"He's very excited about being here," Carroll said. "And he's a very, very good looking prospect. Big. And fast."
Shaquem is in the process of moving in with his twin brother at his Seattle-area home. Shaquill said last week he would "knock down walls" and put his bed in a closet, if he had to, to make room for Shaquem to live with him.
What advice did his sage twin, one minute older and one NFL season wiser, give him for this start of his pro career?
"Work. Stay humble," Shaquem said. "He said you can't predict anything.
"The only thing you can do is do your best and give everything you got and let everything else play for itself. That's one thing I'm here to do to is give all I got. And hopefully I'll be a guy who can contribute in any way possible."


After being cut from the team, professional Football player Terry Brogan finds himself in desperate need of cash. When local bookie and club owner Jake Wise offers him a large payout if he heads to Mexico in search of his missing girlfriend Jessie Terry jumps at the opportunity. However, things get a little more complicated when Terry and Jessie end up falling in love.

In 1953 werd de eerste editie van het Vierschansentoernooi gehouden.
Het toernooi ging van start met de traditionele wedstrijd in het Duitse Garmisch-Partenkirchen op 1 januari. Meer dan 20.000 toeschouwers waren getuige. De vier wedstrijden kenden vier verschillende winnaars, waarvan drie afkomstig uit Noorwegen. De Oostenrijker Sepp Bradl won het eindklassement.

Eindklassement

Deelnemers
Het toernooi was sterk bezet. Van de wereldtoppers ontbrak alleen het Finse team. De vijftig deelnemers kwamen uit zes landen. Naast de vele Duitsers en Oostenrijkers namen vijf Slovenen (destijds Joegoslaven), vier Zweden, drie Noren en drie Zwitsers deel.

Grensproblemen
De tweede wedstrijd had plaats in Oberstdorf. De sporters werden met bussen van Oberstdorf naar Innsbruck vervoerd, maar bij de grensovergang bleek dat de Zweedse ploeg niet over de vereiste visa beschikte. Na veel telefoonverkeer tussen de betrokken autoriteiten mocht het gehele gezelschap, inclusief de Zweden, alsnog Oostenrijk in.

Primeur in de jurywaardering
Het toernooi kende ook een primeur in de jurywaardering van de sprongen. Er werd overgeschakeld naar een systeem waarbij direct na een sprong de punten werden toegekend. Voor die tijd werd pas aan het eind van de wedstrijd de waardering bekend.

Vervolg
De eerste editie van het toernooi werd door de organiserende skiverenigingen, toeschouwers, pers en deelnemers als zeer positief ervaren. Direct na afloop werden al plannen gemaakt voor de tweede editie. Er werd besloten om niet meer in Partenkirchen te starten, maar op de andere Duitse locatie Oberstdorf. Omdat in Partenkirchen altijd op 1 januari wordt gesprongen, moest de wedstrijd van Oberstdorf dus al in december van het voorgaande jaar worden gehouden. Besloten werd om de laatste wedstrijd in Bischofshofen op driekoningen te laten plaatsvinden.
